To the people of Jefferson City and State of Missouri: 

In presenting this, our first volume of a series of Missouri 
County Sketch Books and Directories, we feel that the value and useful- 
ness of our new field of work has in this book been fully demon- 
strated. We promise that no future edition shall fall below this one 
in any particular. 

To the citizens of Jefferson City we here express our grateful 
thanks for their hearty co-operation, liberal patronage and generous 
support, which has enabled us to produce this valuable book. In this 
connection, however, we think it but right to claim that this volume 
will do more to advertise the great advantages and beauties of Jeffer- 
son City than any other agency employed before or since the memorable 
battle against the removal of the Permanent Seat of Government. 

Our aim has been to reflect on the pages of this book the County 
and Capital City as they are today, that we have fallen short in many 
particulars and omitted much that should have a place in the volume 
is true, but to the advertiser we have given full value in every 
respect. We have associated their advertisements permanently with a class 
of matter which secures its frequent reading and at the same time gives 
promine-nce to the firms represented. To advertisers who may be our 
patrons in other counties and to those whose business is not confined 
within the limits of one county, we will cheerfully give any informa- 
tion desired in associating their names and business with the prom- 
inent and substantial interests of the counties for which we produce 
a Sketch Book and Directory. Our next edition will be an Illustrated 
Sketch Book and Directory of SEDALIA AND PETTIS COUNTY, which will 
include a complete directory of ; every city, town and village within the 
bounds of that rich and prosperous commonwealth. Although Jefferson 
City and Sedalia were rivols for the location of the Permanent Seat of 
Government, the fight is over;, .and their common purpose now is to place 
Missouri, which is the fifth in rank, at the head of the list of American 
States. We thank the press most cordially for their very courteous 

assistance. 

x^ Respectfully, 

MISSOURI ILLUSTRATED SKETCH BOOK CO.

A BOOK OF ESSAYS I 
FOR YOUNG AND OLD- i 



THE GUIDE POST TO SUCCESS. 



This popular work is intended to stimulate the vouth of our country to more successful 
effort in fighting the battle of life; to develop the highest ideas of true manhood, and 
to imbue the mind with those sterling qualities so essential in building up a noble, 
energetic character. In the battle of life there is always room and demand for the well- 
equipped young man in every department ot human activity, but there is no room for 
the incompetent or the irresponsible. 

in^HT^T THEY ST^Y T^BOWT THE BOOK. 

Judge C. G. Burton, Nevada: "It is really what its name implies; gives proper trend to thought and direction for conduct. 
Exceedingly valuable to all who read it, especially so to the young man or woman just- entering upon and into life's prac- 
tical duties and responsibilities." 

John C. Fetzer, Chicago, agent estate of C. H. McCormick: "I think no greater benefaction could be done than to place 
a bound copy in the library of every high school in the country, that the rising generations of young men may read and reread." 

Rev. C. McPherson. Waxahachie, Texas: "The young man who reads this book will learn the truth, that it is strong, 
industrious, brave, earnest, faithful, real men for whom the world is always seeking." 

Rev. A. B. Phillips, pastor Christian church, Fulton, Mo.: "The book is brimful of common sense and abounds in whole- 
some advice that every young man can read with profit and pleasure 
A prominent merchant of Louis 



iana: "1 have read the book with 
great pleasure and profit. Send 
me fifty copies as I wish one for 
each of my fifty employes, of 
whom I shall retain only those 
who become familiar with its con- 
tents." 

Mrs. L. P. Miller. Secretary Mon- 
arch Book Company, Chicago: 
"The chapter on "Law of Life and 
Remuneration' is worth many 
times the price of the book." 

Dr. N. Green, Lebanon, Tenn., 
the most prominent educator in the 
South: "Its sentiments are worthy 
to be engraved on the foreheads 
and in the palms of every young 
man." 

The Western Economist, Des 
Moines, la.: "It should be in the 
inside pocket of every man, and 
can be read with profit once a 
week." 

Rev. Cadesman Pope, Pres. Ark- 
adelphia Methodist College, Ark- 
adelphia. Ark.: "There is not a 
dull chapter in the book nor a 
foolish sentence on its pages." 

Rev. W. J. Patrick, a prominent 
Baptist minister, Bowling Green. 
Mo.: "Coming from a business 
man and illustrated by facts drawn 
from active life, it will reach 
many unreached by more elabor- 
ate works." 

A. D. Brown, President Hamil- 
ton-Brown Shoe Company, St. 
Louis: "I consider it worth a for- 
tune to any young man to read the 
'Guide Post' and travel in the di- 
rection it points." 

Phil E. Chappell. Kansas City 
banker: "The sentiments express- 
ed are wise and full of good, com- 
mon, business sense, and it should 
be read by every young man who 
desires to make a success of 'life." 

Rev. T. W. Lewis, pastor M. E. church, Grenada, Miss.: "Its lessons so thoroughly accord with my ideas I wish I could 
thunder them into the ears of every young inan in the land." 

"If America will read it, the tramp will disappear like the buffalo. It is fatal to idleness: its trend is happiness, and it 
ought to be in every home. "JOHN T. HARDING. Nevada, Mo." 

A. Sherwin Cody of the Chicago Record. Novelist, Poet and Scholar, says of it: 

"The Guide Post to Success" reads more like an ancient classic than the production of a modern business man; like the 
Bible, it deals with the essential things of life, and like the Bible also, it is expressed in simple, homely, direct English, as if it 
were written for all time and all places. When we can get the life experience of a thoughtful, earnest, successful man 
bodied forth in absolutely natural language, we have literature that can justly be called great. There is nothing in it that 
does not have weigiit, and in a certain sense originality; and there is nothing in it that should not interest every human 
creature. Mr. Johnston, its author, has produced one short work of genuine greatness which probably sprang spontane- 
ously from a warm heart and a rich experience." 

Lester S. Parker, prominent shoe manufacturer, Jefferson City, Mo.: "No one can read 'The Guide Post to Success" 
without finding himself already well advanced along that highway, for success comes only after clear-cut plans, with 
activity and enthusiasm and everlasting force behind them. This book is truly a storehouse of both." 




Hon. John L Peak, Kaavis Ciiy. 
ex-Minister to Switzerland: " 'The 
iJv'ide Post to Success,' by J. W. 
Johnston, should be the constant 
rrpmpanion of every youth in the 
land." 

Thomas B. Bryan. Chicago, 
Lawyer. Orator and Scholar: "It 
behooves aspirants for success to 
weigh well, and carefully heed 
,1jst such sound advice as this 
' ssayist so emphatically presents." 
Prof. J. M. Greenwood, superin- 
t<-ndent public schools, Kansas 
I 'ity: "Every boy should carry it 

II his coat pocket and read from 
M every time he feels the least bit 
I liscouraged." 

David B. Page of Browning. 
Iving & Co.: "No one can read 
(his book without profit. But to 
him who reads it aright it will 
prove a most valuable aid to the 

M-hievement of business success, 
ihrough the channel of honorable 
methods and personal integrity." 
The Baptist Rev'ew, T^ittle Rock: 

■The general reading of the 'Guide 
Post to Success' by the young peo- 
ple would be an incalculable bless- 
ing to the nation." 
A. J. Brown. State Agent of 

"exos for the Fidelity Mutual Life 

• t' Philadelphia: "If read and 
heeded will prove the most valu- 

ihle hook ever given mankind."

week give the complete news of that week from all parts of the world, 
so selected and arranged as to preserve the thread of events from 
issue to issue. The preparation of the news in this form involves an 
immense amount of labor and expense, and comprises the most com- 
plete and comprehensive news service of any dollar-a-year publication 
in the United States, if not in the world. 



The Weekly Globe-Democrat is equally as pre-eminent. It is morally 
clean, and may be read without contamination by all the members of 
any family. It contains the very cream of current literature and the 
best j)ictorial Illustrations. Its dej)artinents devoted to "The Home," 
"For Women." "Agricultural Xews." "The Farm, Garden and Dairy." 
are eacli of the highest grade, and its market reports are correct and 
complete in every detail. 



IN A WORD 



The Weekly Globe-Democrat is a complete newspaper, prepared and 
])rinted for intelligent and thoughtful ])eople. We have confidence 
in its ability to speak for itself, and will cheerfully mail sample copy, 
free of charge, upon receipt of request. Address

Is a scientific combination of Sanative Asrents, that has been used in an extensive practice about thirty 
YEARS, and probably no other medicine is so well known in Nevada and Vernon County. Its effect is 
not miraculous. It simply acts in harmony with the laws of nature. It is s.\fe. It is rell^hle, and is 
what everv family needs to protect them from m.\l.-\ri.\ and ty'phoid fever. Observe your neifrhbors 
who use this medicine, and ask them their opinion of its merits. 

DI^. CHURCHELL'S REMEDIES FOR_— asai. 

CROUP ^\JSrDpiPHTHERI^^ 

Have been extensively used about twenty-five years, with unparalled success, and hundreds of families 
keep them ready for immediate use, their experience and observation convincing them that no other 
remedies can so safely be relied on. 

These medicines are sent by express to patrons in twenty States and three Territories.

A Glimpse of a Few 
of the Furnished 
Cottages of the 



Monroe 
Park 
Cottage 
Company 

South Haven, Mich. 




South Haven, tlic 
most delightful sum- 
mer resort on the Great 
Lakes, is located on the 
east shore of Lake 
Michigan, a village of 
about 4,000, cultured 
and moral people, who 
have been drawn there 
by the delightful sur- 
roundings and to enjoy 
the refreshing breezes 
which are cooled by the 
freSh water of the Great 
Lake, and invigorated 
by bathing in the spark- 
ling element. It is only 

a few hours from the city of Chicajio and is conueitcd by majj;uitieent sicamers running night and 
day, the expense of the round trip being only $1.00. "Tis here is located the famous A\'KRV 
BEACH HOTEL. The furnished cottages of the Monroe Park Cottage Co., of which they have 
about forty, are equipped with evei-y modern convenience, electric light, hot and cold water, bath 
and perfect sewerage. A stay there during the heated months, relieved of the worry of business 
(while not expensive) as the delicious fruits of the great state of Michigan are at hand at a uominal 
price, makes new men and women who return home refreshed with new life. 

For further information in regard to this famous resort, noted for it glorious beach, safe 
bathing, good boating and fishing on lake and river, its peach and general fruit orchards, its 
berries, its magnificent steamers arriving twice daily from Chicago, write to the Monroe Park 
Cottage company. L. S. Monroe, president and treasurer; L. BeCraft, secretary and manager.

For nearly half a century the name "DuUe" has 
been familiarly associated with what is best in tlour. 
In 183S G. H. Dulle located in Jefferson City where 
he engaged in first in the manufacture of brick, and 
later hi the business of the dairy. In 1854, he built 
on the ground (near where now stands the best 
equipped and most substantial milling property in 
central Missouri), a small mill which was ample to 
meet the requirements of that day, but with the 
growing business it was enlarged from time to time, 
to almost its present proportions. It was, however, 
destroyed by fire, in 1890, when it was replaced by 
the present model, modern, substantial and virtu- 
ally fire-proof structure, containing the very latest 
and best in the wonderful improvements made in 
milling machinery within the last half century. 
The sterling qualities of the founder of this plant, 
Mr. G. H. Dulle, and his exceptional capacity as an 
honest, thorough and substantial business man, re- 
sulted in his being frequently called upon to serve 
the county in an official capacity, a duty which he 
always performed in a manner most credible to him- 
self and satisfactory to those who had thus honored 
him. At his death, 1885, the G. H. Dulle Milling 
Company was organized and incorporated, the offi- 
cers being Henry J. Dulle, President; Bernard 
Dulle, Vice-President, and J. W. Schulte, Secretary 
and Business Manager. Mr. J. W. Schulte, to 
whom the very great success of this mill is largely 
due, is a step-son of Mr. G. H. Dulle, and has been 
since reaching his majority, continually in the mill 
and largely the manager, a duty devolving on him in 




S jLi I 



consequence of the frequent absence of Mr. G. H. 
Dulle. when engaged in his official duties. The 
President, Mr. Henry J. Dulle, has been honored by 
the county with several positions, having recently 
retired from the office of presiding judge of the 
court. He is now President of the First National 
Bank, one of the largest and most prosperous finan- 
cial concerns in Jefferson City. The capacity of the 
Dulle Milling Company is 500 barrels of flour per 
day; the leading brands are ''Dulle Patent," "Capi- 
tal Star" and "Baker's Delight," all of which have 
an established reputation, covering several states, 
and the merit of which has been attested by a num- 
ber of prize medals, where exhibited in competition 
with the products of the leading mills of the world; 
the most recent being at the Exposition at Omaha. 
The immense product of this mill is sold throughout 
a number of states, and is shipped to several foreign 
countiies. The grain necessary to supply the de- 
mand of this mill is drawn largely from the wheat- 
growing district of central Missouri, an area which 
is recognized as the best for the production of win- 
ter wheat in the United States. It can be seen with- 
out the suggestion of a figure that in the employ- 
ment of labor and the purchase of grain, the G. H. 
Dulle Milling Company has dispensed more money, 
by far, than any other manufacturing concern in 
Central Missouri. It is certainly one of the most 
substantial elements entering into the progress ol 
Jefferson City, and Cole county. An idea of the 
Dulle ^Milling structure may be drawn from the pie 
ture above, the building in the rear being an eleva- 
tor with a capacity of 50,000 bushels.

THE H, BOCKRATH SHOE COMPANY. 

In the United States, in no manufacturing, has there been such marked progress as in the maliins of shoes. This 
IS a line of goods in which the United States; -e;tcels the world and the products of her shoe factoriis an- sold in all 
countries, where there is a people sufficiently prosperous tobuy the best. .The work.. of. the Village slimniaker is now 
almost entirely one of repairing; in fact, with the facilities for manufacturing, buyirig'ih large" tiuantities. 'raw nra.t«rial 
and the use of greatly improved machinery, the manufacturer now sells a shoe complete for less money than the country 
shoemaker can buy in a small way the raw material. The headquarters of this great manufacturing interest has of 
late years been leaving New England, Missouri now being one of the leading manufacturing states of artistic and sub- 
stantial footwear. At an early date one manufacturer made a general line of boots and shoes for men, women and chil- 
dren, but the growing and sharp competition has forced a more thorough division of labor, which gives to the manu- 
facturer of a specialty the advantage of using skilled labor only on the class of work in which it is most proficient, 
enabling them to turn out a finer and better class of work and at lower prices than is possible by the maker of a gen- 
eral line. The H. Bockrath Shoe Company of Jefferson Citv was organized May 1st. ISStfj, incorporating with a capital 
stock of $22,000.00. The first stockholders, who were also directors, were H. Bockrath, Geo. A. Bockrath. J. \V. 
Schulte, G. H. Schulte and F. Loefher. The officers being H. Bockrath, President; J. \V. Schulte, Vice-President; Geo. 
A. Bockrath, Secretary and Treasurer, and F. Loeffler. In May, '90, they commenced the manufacure of a special line 
of ladies', misses', children's, boys', youths' and little gent's shoes, in a building 33 by 110 feet on Stuart Street, selling 
their product direct to the retail merchants. Their working force, the first year, numbered about 40 people. By the em- 
ployment of efficient and intelligent salesmen, who were able to get the attention of the best dealers, they introduced 
their goods rapidly, the substantial character and low price of which was appreciated by the merchants when compared 
with eastern makes, and as a result their trade has gradual ly increased, until now they employ a force of loO, their 
manufacturing space being enlarged to 110 by 19S feet on the ground floor, and in addition, a space on the second 
floor, 4D by 110 feet. The factory on the corner of Stuart and Water streets is equipped with the latest improved machin- 
ery and every department is under the supervision of an expert; as a result, no factory in the United States turns out 
more artistic or substantial shoes than the H. Bockrath Shoe Co., or at more favorable prices to the shoe mer- 
chant. In November. '9S, the capital stock was increased to $42,000. E. Holtschneider and D. M. Noonan becoming 
stockholders, and added to the directory. Mr. Noonan is also foreman of the packing department. The employes 
in this factory are largely from the ranks of the home people, and have become very efficient in the work. The 
Bockrath shoes are now sold and reeognixed as leading: standards in all directions within a radius of several hun- 
dred miles. The President. Mr. Bockrath, is an oW 'merchant,- who came-..to, Jefferson City from Florrissant. St. 
Louis county, seventeen years ago. and until recently retired, was one of the leading geriel^ai merchants -of the Capi- 
tal City. Geo. A. Bockrath, the Secretary and Treasurer, who looks largely after the management, is a sterling young 
business man with the executive ability necessary to manage this large and prosperous manufacturing plant, the 
most important in Jefferson City, outside the prison walls. The success of the Bockrath Shoe Company and the popu- 
larity of their artistic and substantial products are largely due to the practical management in the manufacturing de- 
partment of Mr. P. Loeffler. who is superintendent and manager of the factory.

Above is a view of a few of the cottages of the Monroe Park Cottage Company. For those who wish to enjoy a 
summer outing where all the surroundings are conduct\-e to the highest order of innocent sports and recreation, there 
is no more inviting resort on the American Continent than South Haven, Mich., a village of about 4,000 cultured people 
who strive tor the highest in life. No saloons, billiard halls or bowling alleys and none of the fakirs or rough element 
frequently found at popular summer resorts. In addition to the fine surf bathing within a few steps of the cottages, 
there is splendid boating, fishing and elegant drives. In the midst of the famous fruit growing section, the price of 
supplies for the table are reasonable, the expense of the average family during the summer months being but little 
more than at home, the rental of the furnished cottages which are supplied with every convenience, is low. Within 
a few hours' ride by elegant steamers (which run night and day), of Chicago. The expense of the round trip, $1.00. For

gather some ide.a of the talent, ingenu-

Of the many hostk'ries open for the entertain- 
ment of guests in the Capital City, the Central Ho- 
tel, of which Mr. J. A. Huepel is the Proprietor, is 
unquestionably at the head of the list. Mr. Huegel 
leased the property, which he now owns, on the cor- 
ner of Jefferson and High streets, January 1, 187-1. 
and continued to run the hotel as a tenant until 
1885, when he purchased the propei*ty. The busi- 
ness, under his able and jiopular nianagement, con- 
tinued to grow until 1801), when it reached a pro- 
portion demanding larger and more commodious 
quarters, which determined him to enlarge and mod- 
ernize the building, and as a result he has the most 
elegantly appointed and best arranged hotel in Cen- 
tral Missouri. The building is extended to four full 
stories and a basement, the exterior of which pre- 
sents an imposing and symetrical appearance, while 
the interior arrangement embodies in elegance and 
comfort everything necessary to gratify the most 
fastidious taste. The entire building is brilliantly 
illuminated with electric lights, a jierfect system of 
call bells, elegant bath tubs and sanitary arrange- 
ments second to no hotel in the country. The main 
floor is finished throughout in highly polished oak. 
All the rooms are nicely decorated and arranged, 
the floors being covered with lovely carpets, fresh 
from the loom of the weaver. His dining room in 
the basement is large and well arranged, while on 
his table is found at all times the best the market 
affords, prepared by experienced cooks. Of the lux- 
uries furnished his guests, are parlors on both the 
first and second floors. The appointments of the 
building throughout are most convenient and com- 
fortable, meeting the demands of the most exact- 
ing. Mr. Huegel is to be congratulated on his 
good management and prosperity, evidenced by this 
nionnnient, which is. indeed, a credit to the city.

Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and 



OUR RAILROADS, 



Next to the press, the most important factor effecting the material and intellectual progress of a civilized people 
is the railroad. Though comparatively new, there being many now living in Cole county who were well grown before the 
first railroad was built in the United States, they have introduced themselves so rapidly and we have become so ac- 
customed to the many advantages afforded by them, we do not realize how much they contribute to our comfort and 
convenience. AA'ithout the railroad, the daily paper could not exist. It is the element which enables our postal system 
to be the grandest and most efficient organization of public utility on earth. Without them the misfortunes which 
befall communities through fire, pestilence or famine would result in great suffering; communities, which fail to pro- 
duce crops on account of unfavorable seasons, would fee! the pangs of hunger. The immense deposits of coal and min- 
eral, which underlie a large portion of the interior of the United States, would rem.ain in their natural beds, useless 
to mankind. The delicious fruits of California would decay in the orchard. The great wheat fields of the Northwest 
would cease to bloom and supply a golden harvest as there would be no return to the producer. The railroads regu- 
late supply and demand, taking the surplus of one community to those in need. They equalize prices as water find its 
level. To them we are indebted largely for the wonderful advancement in civilization and education of the last half 
of the Nineteenth century. Through them the people of the United States are all neighbors, not only having the priv- 
ilege of general social intercourse, but the advantages of the exchange of ideas in personal contact with people from 
all parts, thus affording the educational advantages of a cosmopolitan life. The railroads represent the largest busi- 
ness interests of the world. By them an army of skilled labor is employed and better salaries are paid as a whole than 
in any other industry. Their management requires the ablest financiers. The magnitude of the capital invested in 
these great vehicles of progress in this country alone being sufficient to stagger one who attempts to grapple with its 
enormity. Jefferson City has the advantages of three great railroad systems— two of which, the C. & A. and the M.. 
K. & T., have no mileage within Cole county, their depots being in North Jefferson across the river, which is now 
spanned by a magnificent steel bridge. 




.Ml-.-oi i;l l'.\i iH( rl Al loN, .IKII KK.-M.I.N i I I -. . 
The Missouri Pacific, however, has a large mileage within Cole county, the main line running its entire length from 
east to west, the Lebanon branch of that system going through the southwest part of the county. Of the Missouri Pacific 
railroad it is difficult to refer in a review without connecting the article with the late great Napoleon of finance, 
Jay Gould. There are many well posted people of the state who have some idea of the immense value the operations 
of Jay Gould were during his lifetime to the great Commonwealth of Missouri. He took hold of the Missouri Pacific 
when it was bankrupt, and developed it into one of the most important railroad systems of the entire country. Its 
value in building up not only the country through which it passes, but the two great commercial and manufacturing 
cities of Missouri— St. Louis and Kansas City— is simply beyond compute. It has brought each of these trade centers 
into close touch with the fine agricultural and live stock districts of Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska, the cotton 
fields of Arkansas and Texas, the mineral districts of southwest Missouri, and the untold wealth which is brought to 
the surface annually in that great producer of precious metals, Colorado. In addition to this great system, his genius 
had much to do with bringing to its present high standard the Wabash system both east and west of the Mississippi. 
His far seeing and fertile brain coupled with his wonderful executive ability, was the principle element in developing 
the Western Union Telegraph system to its now wonderful efficiency. Mr. Gould was superior to Napoleon in that 
he did not let the dazzling splendors of wealth and power debauch his modest and virtuous manhood. To facilitate the 
great enterprises conceived by his fertile mind he associated with him the most practical and brainiest men to be found. 
The friendship and interest taken in Jefferson City by the Missouri Pacific is evidenced by the magnificient new _ depot 
(a cut of which heads this article) which they have recently provided for the comfort and convenience of the citizens 
of, and visitors to, the capital. That this railroad has always been ready and prompt in response to requests for special 
rates and other favors necessary to facilitate and promote the selection of the capital city for public gatherings, con- 
ventions, etc., is well known, and as a result, it enjoys and deservedly, the warm friendship and support of the people 
of Jefferson City and Cole county.

THE SCIENCE OF ADVERTISING. 



Comparatively few men, taken as a wlmle. I'eali/.e 
the importance of advertisinj; and li(i\\ minli its 
study and judicious application etl'ects their jiros- 
pci'ity. The human mind is guided and controlled 
by influences which are jirojierly lu'ouylit to bear 
just as sure as the ai>ple when detached from the 
twig of the tree is carried by the force of gravity 
to the eartli. Counter influence may effect or stop 
the downfall of some of the apples, so in the work 
of advertising in its effect on the human mind it may 
be turned aside by counter influences. The value 
of an advertisement depends mucli on the tact, skill 
and force of its presentation. The most effective 
way is by personal work, presenting intelligently 
a title to ]>atronag'e in person, using that means 
which the Creator in his wisdom gave to us to con- 
vey our thoughts and wishes to eaeh other — the 
hiiman voice. This, however, is most exi)ensive. A 
manufacturer or merchant of New York may send 
a representative to San Francisco at a cost in ex 
pense and salary of ^500 and to see it may be only 
one customer. A regular salesman may make trips 
to all parts of the country during the year calling 
on perhaps 100 customers or less. Salesmen who 
visit only the larger buyers command a salary of at 
least $6,000 a year, to which is to be added the ex- 
pense of traveling, etc., about $;i,000, making the 
work of this salesman cost in one year |t),000. The 
manufacturer or merchant could have printed the 
words used by his salesman, express himself with 
greater care and reach the buyers, through the mails 
at an expense of $50, saving apparently $8,950, but 
his loss in trade through the activity of comjietitors, 
who recognize the importance of certain work being 
done in person, would likely reach many thousands 
more. There are various ways of advertising; news- 
papers, magazines, personal work, letters and many 
other means and so much to be accomplished by it, 
it is reduced to a science that requires a most 
thorough study. Advertising reaches out and af- 
fects the business world more than an.v other ele- 
ment which enters into its progress. The farmer, 
seeing the advertisement of an article in a news- 
paper, little thinks the advertisement in many cases 
reduce the cost to him more than half. By this 
means the manufacturer can increase his output to 
such an extent that he goes to the original source 
of supply for material obtaining the lowest price 
in his i)urchase, the enlarged business, carrying 
with it a corresponding reduction, in the cost of 
making and selling the finished i)roduct. By judi- 



cious advertising, the manufacturer, in many cases, 
is enabled to sell articles on account of the large 
outjiut, at live c(*nts. which produced in a limited 
way would cost fl. Through this nu>aus the cost of 
almost ever.v article of general use which contri- 
butes to the comfort and well being of mankind, is 
reduced to a minimum and the quality giiMtly im- 
pi-oved. To illustrate, the railroads will carry you in 
a moving jialace with ever.v comfort of the well reg- 
elated home from New York to San Francisco, at a 
cost of less than $100, while the expense <if running 
these trains, if then- did not advertise and Si'cure a 
large nunil)er of jKissengers, would bankrujit a mil- 
lionaire in a few months. We see th(> advei-tise- 
ments of the railroads in every publication, in 
jtamphlets, signs, the employment of artists, the 
most talented writers and an arm.v of brain.v men, 
whose wliide dut.v is to travel and talk in the inter- 
est of the road they represent; so it is with great 
merchants Mr. Wanamaker, the largest retail mer- 
chant in the world, was on the verge of failure a 
few years ago, but by judicious advertising he has 
made himself a many times millionaire. With his 
immense stocks of goods in Philadelphia and New 
York, if he were to stop his advertisements he could 
dispense with three-fourths of his emplo.ves in a few 
months, and within a few years would most likel.v 
go to the wall. He emplo.vs one man to write ad- 
vertisements at a salary of $15,000 a year. Ar- 
buckle Bros., who are the largest imjxirters and 
dealers in coffee in the world, were running a gro- 
cery store in Pittsburg Avhere the.v began to roast 
coffee in a small way for their retail trade. By ju- 
dicious advertising they have increased their busi- 
ness and fortune to their present gigantic propor- 
tions. James Pyle, the manufacturer of Pearline, 
which we find in every grocery store and in almost 
evei-y home, a few years ago, had only a small busi- 
ness and little capital, but a keen insight into the 
value of advertising, he owes his present immense 
fortune and large business almost wholly to this 
means. He recentl.v paid over $4,000 for a page ad- 
vertisement, one issue, in a popular magazine, lio- 
bert Bonner, the late millionaire, publisher of the 
New York Ledger, flft.v years ago, had no means, 
and was working in a newspaper off'ice at $50 a year 
and board. Just before his death he stated that for 
many years he expended virtually, in advertising, 
all his earnings, and to this i>ractice was indebted 
almost wholly for his great fortune. The manu- 
facturers of anoline dves, the manv and varied col-

ors of wliicli, at a nominal cost, add so much to the 
arlifiiial Ix'auty now extant, owo their present im- 
mense Itnsiness to judicious and liberal advertis- 
inj.'. 

'J'Ik^ ]iiesiden(s and manaj^ers of the colleges, 
those «ho teach in tlie higher paths of education, 
are of late years showing evidence of their apprecia- 
tion and recognition of the value of this art. We 
now find colleges of recognized merit, and jtronii- 
nence largely advertised and to a close student of 
I)ra(tical life, this is the best evidence thej can give 
of their (|ualificationsi to impart to the receptive 
minds placed in their charge, the practical knowl- 
edge necessary to enable them to play their part well 
and credibly on the stage of life. Another effect of 
advertising is the increased patronage thus secured, 
stimulates the advertiser to render the best service 
and value possible, thus increasing his friends and 
business. 



Of the many means to be used in advei-tising. all 
ha\e some value, but aside fi-om ]iersonal work, the 
most potent is the columns of a well conducted 
newspaper, yet of the n)illions of newspapers pub- 
lished in the United States daily, within 48 hours 
after their publication, the number in existence is 
only a few thousand, while an advertisement in a 
book which contains valuable information of fre- 
(luent use in which our interest is not only for the 
day, but lasting, is valuable for the reason that such 
books take a permanent place in the homes of the 
people. In addition, the influence of an advertise- 
ment on the reader is effected largely by its asso- 
ciation. An advertisement associated in a j)ublica- 
t'on, with matter which the reader feels should be 
preserved, has a stronger influence than when asso- 
ciated with transitory matter, which is read at a 
glance w'ith no attempt to give it a permanent place 
in the memory.

-Miialuuii Heim. the popular and leadiiif; clothier 
of Jctterson Citv, was born in Bavaria, Germany, 
July 3. 1842, where he was reared and educated. In 
1800 he iiiunis'rated to America, stojipiiij;' first at 
^Mansfield, Ohio, where he enuafjed as salesman in a 
<lotliin<>- store, continuinii' about ten vears. In 1870 
he came to JeltViSon City, and the following three 
vears was salesman for Sachs & Wolfernian, when 
he went to Germany visiting the Vienna exposition. 
On retui-ninii' he o]>ened business on his own account 
in the City Hotel building. Here he continued to 
<lo a prosperous aud growing business ten years, 
when, finding his increasing trade demanded more 
commodious (luarteis to accommodate the enlarged 
stock needed he puichased the store he now occ-u- 
])ies, one of the most valuable business properties 
in the city, corner High and jiadison. Mr. Heim is 
blessed with good health, a genial disposition and a 
well-balanced mind, all of which, coupled with a rich 
experience with some of the best clothing merchants 
of Ohio and Missouri, he has used diligently in build- 
ing up a trade of which In- may be justly proud. He 
is now well and favoiably known to almost every 
family in the county. Oc(U]iying his own store and 
buying for cash in large iiuantilies from first hands, 
he is able to give his cusionurs better values than 
less favored merchants.

^0 J^o iM@mm/sSo 

John F. Heinrichs, who is tamilarly known to every one 
in Cole and surrounding counties as the "Furniture King," was 
born in Cologne, Germany, November 30, 1S4S, from which place 
his parents immigrated to Jefferson City when he was four 
years o£ age. The subject o£ this sketch was reared and 
educated in Jefferson City, attending public schools, later Wy- 
nan's University of St. Louis and St. .lolm's Commercial College. On 
his return to Jefferson City, after completing his commercial 
education, he assisted his father, who was engaged in the busi- 
ness of furniture and undertaking. He was later associated 
in the business of which he became the owner in 1879, when 
the location was on the corner of Jefferson and Main streets; 
from there he removed to one of the store rooms under Bragg 
Hall, corner Monroe and High streets, and to his present loca- 
tion, 207-9 East Main, in 1897. He was united in marriage May 
13, 1873, to Miss Mildred (daughter of the late Judge Milo Blair 
of Boonville, a prominent man of the State). To this union 
has teen born six children, four boys and two girls, one of each 
died in infancy. Milo, Charley, Claud and Agnes are at home. 
Agnes, the youngest child, is a musical prodigy, whose wonder- 
ful performance on the piano, for one of her age, has attracted 
much attention and been a subject of frequent reference in the 
papers and magazines. Mr. Heinrichs is a member of the Cath- 
olic church, K. of P., The Elks, L. O. H. and A. O. U. W. In 
politics he is a Democrat. He is at present a Regent of Lincoln 
Institute, and was twelve years a member of the city school 
board; and appeals for charity always find a response in his 
generous heart. It may be truly said of him that the title by 
which he is known, the "Furniture King" of Col© county, is 
most appropriate, as he carries m his spacious store on East 
Main, a stock of everything in the line of furniture and under- 
taking. His large business attests his popularity as a man, and 
the low prices he makes on his merchandise. His comfortable 
home, with his very interesting family, is 324 East Main.

Shakespeare, the greatest writer of any I 
age, when he gave to the world, more 
than 300 years ago, the sad and tragic 
story of the Prince of Denmark, made 
Polonious, the chief counselor of the 
King, give to his son, Laertes some wise 
and wholesome advice, on the eve of his 
departure for France. Among many good 
things he said: 

"Above all things, to tliine own self be 

true. 
And it must follow, as the night the 

day, 
Thou canst not then be false to any 

man. 
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, 
But not expressed in fancy; 
Rich, not gaudy, 
For the apparel oft proclaims the man." 

This is as true to day as 
when written by Shakesp ar3 
three centuries ago. Dr. 
Samuel Johnson. in his 
"Tale of the Tailors," says, 
"Clothing is the dividing line 
between man and beast;" 
while the great philosopher, 
Herbert Spencer, says, "The 
object of education is to qual- 
ify ourselves to properly 
house, clothe and feed the 
body." 

In the memory of many 
people now living, it was 
only the favored few, who 
w-ere the envy of the neigh- 
boring boys, that could af- 
ford to wear store clothes. 
The clothing business, in the 
outside towns especially, was 
confined to a small bunch of 
coats and pants, a very min- 
or part of the varied stock 
of the general merchant. But 
today we note in this import- 
ant branch of commerce as 
great evidence of the prog- 
ress of the age as in any 
other industry. The business 
has assumed its own place 
in the commercial world, t':;e 
stocks carried by prominent 
clothing merchants requiring more capi- 
tal invested and skill in conducting the 
business than any other line, and in that 
field are now the largest and best mer- 
chants of the progressive cities through- 
out the country. 

These changes have developed, as all 
other lines in their advancement, men 



whose business qualifications, close and 
thorough application, enable them to out- 
strip less favored competitors; as tlie 
large amount of goods used by such men, 
coupled with the capital with which to 
purchase, makes them sought after by 
the leading manufacturers, and, as a re- 
sult, the advantages they enjoy over 
ordinary competitors are brought about 
by the incidentals attending a large and 
prosperous business all along the line, 
from the time the raw material leaves 
the hand of na.ure, until the pe» .ect and 
artistic garment is finished, ready to 
adorn the person of man. 

Of this class of merchants, Harry 
Wyman, of the Golden Eagle, stands at 
the head of the list in Jefferson City. 
He was born September 14. 1S67, in Cleve- 
land, Ohio, where in his early youth, he 
a. .ended school. At the age of 11 he 
entered his father's grocery store and 




continued as a clerk three years, when he 
went to Chicago, where he was em- 
ployed by his brother in a large depart- 
ment store as clerk until the age of Ifi, 
when he was made floor walker. In this 
position he continued five years when he 
entered the employ of the late E. J. 
Lehman. oM'ner of the "Fair," one of the 
largest and most prosperous concerns of 
the kind in the world. Here he was the 



©To 



assistant manager of the entire business, 
in which important position he continued 
four years. He then removed to Humbolt. 
Kansas, taking charge of a department 
store for his brother, from which place, 
after three years, he went to Arkansas 
City, Kansas, where he held a similar 
position five year with a Kansas City 
house. Removing to Pratt, Kansas, he 
engaged in business on his own account, 
having two rooms, one of w^.ich he de- 
voted to groceries, the other to cloth- 
ing and gent's furnishing goods. Here 
he did a prosperous business six years, 
when he removed to Tipton, Mo., en- 
gaging in the clothing business exclu- 
sively, from which place he removed to 
Jefferson City, in 1S97, and opened the 
Golden Eagle One Price store. Soon 
after Mr. Gus Hirschland associated with 
him and continued as his partner uniil 
January, 1900, when they disposed of their 
joint interest, Mr. Wyman 
leasing the store for five 
years and having it remod- 
eled throughout, utilizing 
every modern convenience 
and making it one of the 
most complete clothing stores 
in the city. In this splendid 
Iiuildins lie OL'cupies two floors 
the upper Vieins devoted 
to boy's and youth's cloth'ng 
and furnishings: the lower to 
men's goods, which includes 
the latest and best from the 
manufacturers of New York 
and Chicago. Mr. Wyman 
was married in Humbolt, 
Kansas, January, 1SS5, to 
Miss Maggie C. Neely of that 
city, (who had recently re- 
moved from Noelyville, 111.), 
where her father was 
prominently engaged in coal 
mining, owning the large 
mines operated there; the 
town being named in his 
honor. To this union has 
been born two children: Ar- 
thur, a bright lad 14 years 
of age, assists in his father's 
store; Barbara Middlemarch. 
an interesting girl of six, is 
a pupil at the private school 
of Miss Epps. His home is 
319 Monroe street. Mr. Wy- 
man is a naturally bright 
and active merchant who has 
had a wide and varied ex- 
perience in the commercial 
world, an experience which 
he uses most successfully in 
conducting his large and constantly 
growing business. His stock embraces 
everything in the line of men's, boy's and 
youth's clothing and gent's furnishing 
goods, hats, trunks, valises, e.c. By do- 
ing a strictly cash business, his low prices, 
in connection with his large stock draws 
trade for many miles in every direction in 
response to his wide awake and judicious 
advertising.

It Pays to Sell Good Goods j 

AND GOOD GOODS ONLY. I 

t 

It pays and repays when you are so circumstanced that you can l 

sell good goods at the same price or probably less than are often f 

paid for bad goods. Paying t 

M SPOT CASH— BIG STOCK— NO RENT, I 

And practicing economy where it would be easy to be wasteful, is i 

what we mean by being so " circumstanced." t 

WE SELL SHOES— GOOD SHOES— AND A LOT OF THEM. 

We want your trade on the basis of selling you good shoes at a bad shoe price. 
Can we have it ?

Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and 



(rT 



Much interest (ciitcis in llie subject of this 
sketch, from the fact tliat he is ])resitlent and 
founder of the Jesse French Piano and Organ Co., 
one of the largest concerns of its kind in America, 
with distribiHiiig points in nian.v of the hirge 
cities. 

He started out in life as newsboy, printers devil, 
clerk, accountant, then assistant secretary of the 
State of Tennessee, commencing- his business career 



\ 



aci'es of land witli water power and nadirai gas, 
wlu're tlii'.\ make the famous Starr, Jesse French 
and Kicliniond I'ianos. This is the second largest 
piano factory in America, and they expect this year 
to t-nrn o\ii six tlmusand jiianos. 

Mr. French is only tiftyfour years of age, and 
gives the business the same careful supervision as 
ever. He has three sons, John, Horace and Jesse, 
jr. The former was for some years secretary and 




in 1872, in a small way, in the sheet music business 
in Nashville, Tenn., in wiiicli lie was very success- 
ful. In 1876 he entered the jiiano business, which 
presented a larger field of ojjeration; putting the 
same energy and discretion in this, as .others, he 
won the same success until he is now at the head 
of this mammoth institution. 

His business extended to all p((ints of the com- 
pass, and some years ago he removed from Nash- 
ville, Tenn., to St. Louis, as a more suitable place 
for the headquarters of such a vast enterprise. 
Foreseeing the necessity of manufacturing high 
grade pianos to supply their ever increasing trade, 
the stockholders bought one of the most desirable 
plants in the United States, embracing thirty-flve 



treasurer, but recently branched out in tlie manu- 
facture of Automobiles, and is now president of the 
St. Louis ]Motor Carriage Co., the leading institution 
of its kind in America; Horace, his second son, suc- 
ceeded him as secretary and treasurer of the Jesse 
French Co., and is also secretary and treasurer of the 
St. Louis Motor Carriage Co., and proves a valuable 
help to both concerns, while Jesse, jr., is acknowl- 
edged to be an all-round i)iano man, "a worthy son 
of a noble sire." One secret of Mr. French's success 
is that he has won the confidence of the public by 
his courteous and fair dealing; so that customers 
run no risk in dealing with their comi)any. They 
make nothing bnt what they can sell on honor and 
full guarantee.

l!y nil ail of < '<mt>ress, approved March (i. is:i(l. 

1)1- tlif adiiiis.siou of Jlissouri Territory into the 

nion as a State, four sections of land were granted 

y the Federal Government to the State for the pur- 

ose of locating their seat of governnieiit thereon. 

lie Constitution of Missouri provided that no place 

hould be selected for the Permanent Seat of Gov- 

rninent wliicli was not situated on the banks of the 

lissouri Kiver and within forty miles of the mouth 

if the Osage. At the first session of the Legisla- 

iire held in ^lissoiiri, after its admission as a State. 

Ill act was passed fixing the I'eriiianent Seat of 

Tovernment, and in the same act the Legislature ac- 

•e](ted, for the use and benefit of the State, the four 

:ections of land selected by the Commissioners, 



Among other wise provisions was a reservation 
for a park surrounding the Capitol Building and 
Governor's Mansion. It seems, with their limited 
opportunities for observation, almost a miracle that 
the committee for the selection of the location of 
the Permanent Seat of Government should have se- 
lected the most beautiful and by nature the most 
perfectly adaiitcd spot in the State. This is true, 
however, as will be attested by all who have ob- 
served its beauties as compared with any other 
place of equal size in Missouri. The City of Jeffer- 
son is incomparably the most beautiful town in 
the State. In charms of natural location, modified, 
not altered, by man, it stands without a rival in the 
l"nited States. It is built on lovelv hills at whose 




the act also stating that on the aforesaid sections 
a town should be laid out, and the lots sold in such 
manner as should be jirescribed by law. This act 
was approved December 31, 1821. By an act of the 
General Assembly, approved January 1, 1822, the 
town was to be laid out in at least one thousand 
lots, and the principal streets should not be less 
than one hundred feet wide; the other streets not 
less than eighty. On the first Monday in May, 182:!, 
said lots were to be sold on the jiremises to the 
highest bidder, except such as would be reserved 
f(U' public use. This act also stated that the town 
should be laid out as the Permanent Seat of (iovein- 
nieiit, and should be called the "Citv of Jetterson." 



base surges one of the largest and longest rivers 
on the Continent. From the head^waters of the Mis- 
souri River to where the Mississippi empties into 
the Gulf of Mexico, it is the longest river in the 
world. There is no more enchanting view than 
one from any part of the Cajiital City, of the end- 
less landscape of green surroundings, when viewed 
in connection with the turbulent waters of the Mis- 
souri. The glorious haiuliwoik of God in nature 
has no greater attraction than the surroundings 
that are found in the City of JeftVrson, which sets 
on a crown of hills overlooking this gri-at water- 
way with a landscape whose shades of color are 
too delicate and varied to be depict-ed on the can-

Dr. Alon,!-j Hurbert Hatch, the optician 
and watcli-maker at 132 East High street. 
Jeffersoit City. Mo., was born April 12, 
1S52, in Brookfleld, Vt., his early educa- 
tion being: in Norwich Seminary, at Mont- 
pelier. Vt. He left school on account of 
the death of his father, September 23, 1863, 
and went to Quebec, Canada, to learn the 
business of watch-maker. Here he served 
an apprenticeship under Tubel Holmes, 
one of the It^ading watchmakers of Amer- 
ica, with -,vbom he remained four years. 
In 1S69 he WKnt to the Waltham (Mass.) 
Watch Factory, where he remained until 
August, 1ST2. when he began business on 
his own iiccount in Fairbury, 111., in part- 
nership with .b. C. Morris, where the Arm 
continued to do a prosperous business as 
watchmakers and dealers in jewelry until 
1875, when he took a special course in 
optical instruction under Dr. Williamson 
of Cincinn.iii, Ohio. In 1875 he took a sec- 
ond course in this science under J. W. 
Edmonson of Indianapolis, Ind. During 
the time of his receiving instruction in 
the optic.il ;;cience he continued his busi- 
ness at Fairbury. In March, 1875, a de- 
structive Are consumed his stock at Fair- 
bury, a total loss, after which he en- 



gaged in business in Gibson City, 111., 
from which place, after one year, he re- 
moved to ^S'indsor. 111., where he con- 
tinued 14 years to do a successful jewelry 
and optical business. During this time 
he took two courses in the optical science 
under the celebrated opticians. Drs. 
Prince of Springfleld, III., and Holmes of 




Chicago. In ISSiJ he disposed of his busi- 
ness at Windsor, and for one year trav- 
eled tor the Peoria Optical Company as 
refractioni.si; resigning this position he 
went to Mt. Carmel, 111., where he en- 
gaged successfully in the practice of his 
profession until October, 1895, when he 
removed to Jefferson City, accepting a 



position with A. Guyot where he contin 
ued two yeai'S, when he opened his pres 
ent business at 132 East High street. 

Dr. Hatch was united in marriagi 
March 1, 1876, to Miss Julia Carny of Gib 
son City, 111. To this union have beei 
born two daughters: Alice is the wifi 
of Mr. Earl Blood of Texarkana, Texas 
where tie has a position with the K. C. 
P. & G. Railroad: Miss Gertrude Jasimii 
is at hoiae. Dr. Hatch has been a mem 
ber of the I. O. O. F. and the K. of P 
for more than a quarter of a century, ii 
which org-anization he has occupied al 
the official positions in the lodges of lUi 
nois, when; he has been so long a mem 
ber. He has also been for 14 years i 
member of the M. W. A., and is at pres 
ent clerk of the local camp No. 2304. H( 
has all his life taken a deep interest ir 
the optical science, and as a result, witl 
his large e:-:i>erience. he is today, one o: 
the best equipped men to serve those witl 
unfortunate defects in that most deli 
cate org.an of the body (the eye) in tht 
State of Missouri. His close, intelligeni 
and skillful attention to the importani 
science of i>roperly treating the eye witl 
glasses rather than drugs is meeting witl 
merited success in the Capital City, wher( 
he enjoys a large and growing business 
and is a most worthy citizen.

team was the strongest- since its organization, .Mr. 
Sieling having secured the best talent obtaiuabli-. 



Charles Dewey, now of the Press Printing Co., was 
Captain of the team the greater part of the season 
of 1899, when he resigned, and the captainship was 
tendered to Lee Garvin, who finished the season 
as such. In 1899 the team made a circuit of the 
States of Missouri and Illinois, defeating every club 
they came in contact with except the Alton Klues 
of Alton, 111., who won the series. The club had 
three pitcheis, ilessrs. I'opp. Coleman and Mauiiin, 
and each had enviable records; the backstoji work 
was jierfornied by <"a]it. Lee Garvin and AVilcox. 
The other positions were tilled by excellent ball 
])layers. The club, as a whole, was a si)lendid adver- 
tiseiiieiii for -lefferson <"ity. The club has not been 
reorganized at date fer the season of 19(10.

iufj Ix'cn lumof't'il willi tlio I'l-esidciicy of (be Mis- 
souri 8inyle Tax LcafAiic, wliicli oigauization has, 
siuce the beginning of this year, been actively en- 
gaged in pushing tlic worlc throughout the State 
on tlie question of direct legislation, otherwise 
Ivuown as the Initiative and Keferendum. Single 
Taxers have always advocated and woiked for the 
idea of governmental control of ]iublic utilities as 
may be seen by referring to tlicii- ]iul)lic declara- 
tions and platforms. 

A\"e herewith lojpy the Single Tax League plat- 
form, with notes, which expresses the ideas which 
tliey advocate on the social and economic jirohlems 
more cleail.x' than we are able to do with our limited 
op|portuiiitics for investigation: 

SINGLE TAX PLATFORM. 

The single tax cont.emj)lates the atiolition of all 
taxes upon labor or the products of labor — that is 
to say, the abolition of all taxes save one tax levied 
on the value of land, irrespective of improvements. 

Since in all our Statx's we now levy some tax on 
the value of land, the single tax can be instituted 
by the simple and easy way of abolishing, one after 
another, all other taxes now levied, and commen- 
surately increasing the tax on land values, until we 
draw upon that one source for all expenses of gov- 
ernment; the revenue being divided between local 
governments. State governments, and the general 
government, as the revenue from direct taxes is 
now divided between the local and State govern- 
ments, or a direct assessment being made by the 
general government upon the States, and paid by 
them from revenues collected in this manner. 

The single tax is not a tax on land, and there- 
fore would not fall on the use of land and become 
a tax on laboi-. 

It is a tax, not on land, but on the value of land. 
Thus it would not fall on all land, but only on val- 
nal)lc land, and on thai mil in propoilion to the use 
made of it, but in jiroiiortion t(j its value — the pre- 
miuin which the nsei- of hind iiiustjiay to the owner, 
eilhci- in ]Mncliasi' nioiicy or in relil, for ]MTiiiission 
to use valuable land. It would thus be a ta.x, not 
(jii the use or ini|ii-o\('nicnl of land, hut on the own- 
ei'ship of land, taking what wduhl otherwise go t-o 
the owner as owner and nol as user. 

In assessments under I he singh' lax all values 
creale(l 1)\ individual use oi- inipid\ cnicnl \\<inl(| he 
excluded, and the only value taken into considera- 
tion would be the value altaching to the bare land 
h\ I'casoli of liciglibiilhood, etc. Thus I he faiiuer 
would ha\(' no more taxes to pay than I lie sjiccu 
hitor who held a similar piece of land idle, and the 



nnin who on a city lot erected a valuable building 
would be taxi'd no more than the man who held a 
similar lot vacant. 

The single tax, in short, would call upon men to 
contribute to the public revenues not in luoportion 
to what they produce or accumulate, but in propor- 
tion to tlH' value of the natural ojiiiortunities they 
hold. It would coin|)el them to ]iay jiisl as much 
for holding land idle as f(M- putting it to its fullest 
use. 

The single tax, tlierefore, would- — 

1. Take (he weight of taxation off the agri- 
cultuial districts where land has little or no valu(; 
irrespective of imiu-ovements, and jiul it in towns 
and cities, where bare land rises to a value of mil- 
lions of dollars per acre. 

2. ])is|)ense with a muliiplicity of taxes and a 
horde of taxgatherers, simplify government and 
greatly reduce its cost. 

;?. Do away with the fraud, corriiplion and 
gross inequality inseparable fiom our jueseiil meth- 
ods of taxation, which allow the lich to escajie while 
they grind the poor, i^and cannot be hid or carried 
off, and its value can be ascertained with greati'r 
ease and cei'tainty than any other. 

4. It would, on the other hand, by taking for 
jinlilic uses that value which attaches to land by 
reason of the growth and improvement of the com- 
munity, make the holding of land unpi-ofitable to 
the mere owner, and profitable only to the user. 
It would thus nmke it im[)ossible for speculators 
and monoi)olists to hold nadiral ojqiorl unities un- 
used or only half used, and would llirow o]ien to 
labor the illimitable field of eiM|)loyment which the 
earth offers to man. It would thus solve the labor 
jiioblem, do away with involuntary jioverty, raise 
wages in all occupations to (lie t'lill earnings of 
labor, make overproduction impossible until all hu- 
man wants are satisfied, render laboi'-saving imcii- 
tions a blessing to all, and cause such an enoiinous 
production and such an e(|iiiiable dislribulion of 
wealth as would give lo all comfort, leisure and 
pari i<-ipal ion in llie advantages of an advancing civ- 
ili/.al ion. 



Tlie elliical piiiiciples oil wliicli ilie single tax is 
b.'ised are: 

1. Kacli man is eiililled lo all lliat his labor 
pidiliices. Therefore, no ta.x should be levied on 
the inodiicts of lab(U'. 

2. .Ml men are equally eiililled lo what <iod has 
crealed and lo what is gained by the general growth 
and iiii|u-ovement of the community of which they 
are a part. Therefore, no one should be permitted

HENRY (JEORGE. 

iTeiirv <Teoi'ge. the f;ieat ]iolitical economist and 
the abh^st writei- on social iH'oliliMiis the woild has 
j.iodnced. was born iu Philadelphia. I'a.. September 
2. !8."!!). He was a son of a publisher of Protestant 
E[)isco]ial I'burch books. He received his early 
education in the imblic schools of Philadelphia. His 
first work was in a queensware store, from which, 
after one year, when 14 years of age, he made a trip 
to New York, London, Melbourne, Palcutta and back 
again to New York as a cabin bov. the voyage cover- 
ing fourteen months. At the earnest wish of his 
father he learned the printer's trade, the coutine 
ment, however, being distasteful to him he shipped 
as an ordinary seaman on a coasting vessel bound 
for Boston. In 18oS. he was drawn by the reports of 
the discovery of gold iu British Columbia, and shi]i 
ped before the mast on a vessel bound for the Pacitic 
<'oast. He worked his way to the gold regions oti 
the Frazer River, where his liopes of securing tin- 
precious metal were not realized. He returned to 
Victoria, B. C; soon took steerage passage to Sau 
Francisco, ('al.. which jilace he reached in IS.l!), 
penniless. After suffering extreme poverty here hi' 
went to Sacramento, where he found emjiloyinent in 
a printing office. But from this place he was soo;i 
tempted by the stories of the great wealth of gold 
n ines. to the interior of the State, a trip that again 
resulted in disapjiointment. Returning to San 
Francisco he was for sometime a comjiositor iu a 
newsjiaper office. In l.s()(l. he established, with 
others, a newspaper called the Journal, which he dis 
continued on account of the ditticulty of obtaining 
news from the East. He later opened a job jirinting 
office in San Francisco. This venture proved un- 
profitable. A\hen the attempt was made to estab- 
lish an empire in Mexico under Maximillian, he 
joined an expedition and intended to aid the Mexi- 
cans, but was prevented from sailing by the T'nited 
States forces. He now began writing for different 
newspapers under an assumed name. His identity 
was discovered, however, by the editor of the San 
Francisco Times, on which he accepted an editorial 
place, and subsequently became managing editor. 
He .was \later engaged with the iSan Francisco 
Chronicle, Herald and Oakland Recorder. While on 
the last-named paper his opposition to corporations 



and monopolies li-d the Central Pacific iiaiiroad Co. 
tci buy a I'ontrolling interest iu the paper and make 
a chiinge in the editorship. In ISTl he published 
a patu|ihlet under the title of "Our Land and Land 
Policy. Xatinnal and State." which had a limited 
sale. The following year he was delegate to the con- 
vention that iMiniin;!ted Horace (Jreeley for Presi- 
dent. He late!' estublishi'd the San Francisco Even- 
ing Pest, a \enture which resulted in the loss of his 
accumulations. He was then ajipointed Insjiector 
of Cas Meters in San Francisco, a jiosition which

yielded him a lair salary and left sufficient leisure 
for literary work. In 1879 he completed his book, 
"I'rogress and Poverty," of which a few copies were 
printed privately iu San Francisco. He removed 
to New York, in 1881), where, after one year, with 
gi'cat difficulty, he .secured the publication of the 
b( ok in that city and London, (roing to Ireland, in 
1881, he wrote up the land question for several Amer- 
ican newspapers, during which time he delivered 
a series of lectures in England. He also lectured 
in Scotland, on the invitation of the Scottish Land 
Restoration League. The result of his observations 
while in England and Scotland was the "Irish Land 
Question," "Social Problems." and "Protection and

Free Tijidc." On his return to tbe United States he 
was a candidate of the Union Labor Party for the 
otfice of Mayor of New York, but was declared de- 
feated, but always believed and claimed he was 
elected. In 1S87 he established the "Standard," and 
with Dr. McGlynn organized the Antil'overty Soci- 
ety, in whose interest they both lectured extensively. 
He was an unsuccessful candidate for Secretary of 
State of New York, in 1SS7. In 1889 he visited Eng- 
huKi.and in 18iM) made a lecturing tour in Australia. 
He died in New York, October 29, 1897, in tbe midst 
of the campaign for the mayoralty of Greater New 
York, for which office he was a candidate. More than 
30,000 persons viewed his remains while lying in 
state in the Grand Oentral Palace. His work "Prog- 
ress and Poverty" was published in French. German, 



Spanish, Italian, r)nt<li, Swedish, Kussiau. Jmi):ui- 
ese and Chinese languages. His pamphlet on "The 
Condition of Labor," "An Open Letter to I'ope 
Leo Xill," and the "I'erplexed Philosopher," were 
among the greatest productions of this remarkable 
man. His latest productiini was entitled "The 
Science of Political Economy," which was jiubiished 
in 1898. Mr. George was blessed with an observing 
analytical mind to which was added the severe ex- 
periences which can only be secured through a tight 
for existence in a battle with poverty. He is un- 
questionably the greatest writer on social problems 
the world has produced. If is on the great truths 
discovered and developed by this great mind that 
the E(iual Taxation League bases the objects of its 
existence.

,000 pairs of shoes dailj-; the saddle tree fact-cry 
s one of the largest in the world. There is also 
lanufactured within the walls brooms and working 
uen's clothing. Through the contract labor system 
he institution is made self-sustaining and the pris- 
iners receive the benefit of the wholesome exercise 
if a busy, useful life, and to this fact is largely due 
he excellent jihysical condition of the men. This is 
he only prison in the United Strifes where the in- 
■ome exceeds the expense of operation. 1500 men 
tre employed in the factories at 50 cents per day; 
50 women are employed at 30 cents per day. The 
factories are modern, well ventilated and thoroughly 
?quipped. being in every respect erpial to the best in 
the United States outside of prison walls, while the 
order and system of business is just as thorough and 
complete if not more so. The jiower for the factories, 
electric light plants and the steam for heating and 
cooking })urposes, is furnished by a central power 
plant. Six powerful Corliss engines drive the ma- 
chinery. The electric light ]ilant furnishes, in addi-

cost jier capita for maintaining the prisoners during 
1897 and istts, was 25.20 cents per day, the average 
earning 28.38 cents, leaving a daily balance of 3.09 
cents. The daily average number of inmates dur- 
ing these years was 2.22S. The amount paid by con- 
tractors to the St«te for labor of convicts, use of 
buildings, power, etc., was $440,508. During 62 
years, 289 prisoners were received whose ages 
ranged between IG and 20 years; 686 between 20 
and 25, and three were received who were over 70 
years of age; thirteen entered under sentence of 99 
years and four under life sentences; 3,403 pardons 
have been granted since the opening of the .institu- 
tion. The three-fourths law, which went into effect 
in 1870, has resulted in the release of 498 prisoners 
under its provisions. In the past forty years, 872 
deaths have occurred. No epidemic has existed in 
the prison for many years and the death rate has 
been less than that of the average village. In 1898 
the State property was valued at |1,589,474.59. The 
prison was open for the reception of prisoners in

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB OF JEFFERSON CITY. 



The Conimercial Club of Ji'fforsou Citv is largely 
comiiosed of her leading business men. the purpose 
of the orgauization being to encourage and assist 
in movements to advance the material, social and 
f-ducatioual interests of the city. Their elegant suite 
of club rooms, the best located and most completely 
e(|iii|i]ied in the State outside of St. Louis, are shown 
below; we also present a view of the reception hall. 
The rooms are supplied with periodicals and read-

log matter generally, with apjiliances for amuse- 
ments, such as chess, checkers, whist, etc.; one of the 
rooms is furnished with a fine billiard table, which is 
free to the use of the members and their friends who 
are lovers of this healthful exercise. This orgaui-

zaiiun is now taking active and effective steps to 
locate a number of factories, and will doubtless suc- 
■c-eeu with several, adding greatly to the material 
wealth of the city. The initial or preliminary meet- 
ing of this organization was held April G, 1893, with 
A. P. Grimshaw temporary chairman and Jno. (>. 
Lewis temporary secretary. April 21, 1S93, Mr. A. 
P. Grimshaw was elected to the office of President

material interests of the city was conceived and 
pushed to completion by this organization.

■elipse all former efforts. Great interest is taken 
n these annual events by the people of Missouri, and 
'speeially is this true of the people of Jefferson City,

<'eded to be the home of the best horses bred in

I horse show, but sufficient interest was manifested 
to encourage the organization of a strictly up-to-date 
[Horse Show Association, which was duly consum- 
mated in the year 1898, with the following oft'icers: 
Jesse W. Henry, President; L. D. Gordon, Vice- 
I'resident; F. J. Wildberger, Secretary; Emil Schott,

under the above management in Cottage Place Park, 
■was handicapped by bad weather and other un- 
toward circumstances, but despite these, many har- 
ness horses, high stoppers and saddlers, ordinary 
and high school, participated in the events.

participated in chiefly by local horse fanciers, and 
prizes were awarded mostly to horses owned in Jef- 
ferson City, but the Program Committee of the 1899 
show determined to widen the scope of the competi- 
tion by increasing the amount of premiums and fur- 
nishing a greater variety of exhibitions. 

The committee was aided in its etforts to devise 
an attractive list of exhibitions by the co-operation 
of Mr. A. E. Ashbrook, of Kansas City, publisher 
of the KansasCity Horse Show Monthly. The events 
of this show surpassed all former exhibitions, the 
high-jumping of "Joe Wheeler," "Black Douglass"' 
and "Bonnie Lassie" being an especially popular 
feature, though by no means detracting from the 
general interest manifested in the other events, in 
which the best talent of the State was competing.

COLE COUNTY ILLUSTRATED SKETCH BOOK. 



INTRODUCTION. 

Our purpose iu this publicatiou is to refiect on its pages Jefferson City and Cole county as they 
are today with only a sutticient glimpse of the past to enable us better to appreciate the many bless- 
ings, comforts and advantages we enjoy (physical, intellectual and social), as a result of the broad, 
far-reaching efforts of the pioneers who hiid. in the then wilds of the West, the foundation of the great 
commonwealth of Missouri. 

The first European to place foot on what is now Missouri soil was the adventurous Spanish Cavalier 
DeSoto, in 1547. The early settlers, however, were largely Fi'ench, coming nearly two centuries later. 
In 1762, as a result of war between England and France, the French claims east of the Mi-ssissippi 
fell to England, while tho«e west of the river to Spain. In ISdl. through the manipulations of the 
great Napoleon, France again had ceded to her by Spain the vast domain west of the Mississippi, 
which in l.'^0:{ the Fnited States, under the administration of Tlunuas Jefferson, purchased of Napoleon 
for fifteen million dollars, this being the Louisiana runhase, the one hundredth anniversary, of which 
event St. Louis is prejiaring to appropriately celebrate iu 1!(03. 

In 1812 the Territory of Missouri was organized, and in 1S2(I entered the Union as a slave State, a 
result of the pacifying intiuence of the great statesman Henry Clay, the measure admitting being 
known as the Missouri Compromise. This compromise and the famous Dred Scott decision made the 
State specially conspicuous in the exciting debates which immediately preceded the tragic horrors of 
the war of the rebellion. At the beginning of the centiny just closing, the whites within the present 
boundaries of the State numbered only a few thousand and the struggles, hardships and tragedies 
attending their efforts to jdant civilization in a land habited by savages and secure from primitive 
nature the necessities of life for themselves and families, we will not attempt even to suggest nor will 
we (although Gibbon says mankind gives more glory to its destroyers than its benefactors, and the tales 
of war are most absorbing! mention the intensely interesting and tragic events of the dark period 
which followed the attempt to dissolve the Union, ^ye will only say that during this bloody strife 
the loss of the State in her best blood was great while that of her material wealth was almost be- 
yond compute, but the character, enterprise and indominable will of her people coupled with her 
unlimited and varied natural resources enabled hei to rise. I'lioenix like, from the ashes, and, meas- 
ured by the standard of education, wealth and political jiowei- take fifth place in the list of States, 
although much younger than her out-ranking 'rivals, n(me of which suffered by the war, but on the con- 
trary profited largely by the great demand for their products resulting from the strife. 

The great State of Missouri in the Geographical Center is unquestionably favored by nature more 
than any other of the American L'nion, as attested bj' her boundless treasures of rich soil, coal, iron,

zinc, lead, copper and well distributed forests of the best timber, abundantly supplied with water 
from the graceful dowing streams and sparkling springs, while certainly none have been more for- 
tunate in the character, enterprise and intelligence of its people; for these reasons, and judging by 
the rapid and substantial progress of the past, we may confidently expect the future to place on her 
bro.w the crown of tirst place among the States. 

Ber. Henry Ward Beecher said: "All admit the State of Missouri, in natural resources, leads all 
the rest, and is the crown and glory of the Union."

MISSOURI. 

SKETCH BOOK PRIZE ESSAY ON MISSOURI BY RUSSELL C. McMAHAN. 

It lias been truly said that the ancient boast,"All roads lead to Rome." might with equal pro- 
priety and without distortion of facts be changed to "All roads lead to Missouri." Located as she is, 
about midway between the Atlantic and Pacific. A State that "graples hold upon Mexico and Central 
America on the South, and upon Alaska and British America on the North, and through which is a 
thoroughfare to the golden gate of the Pacific." She is the very heart of the Union, with resources 
enough to nourish the whole body. The area of Missouri is sixty-nine thousand four hundred and 
fifteen square miles or about forty-five million acres; such a vast extent that the entire states of Maine,, 
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Delaware could be put 
down side by side within its boundaries and stil' leave a margin of nine hundred square miles. But 
few portions of the world are so well watered as Missouri. The 5Iississippi river washes the entire 
eastern boundary. The Missouri washes it on the west from the northwest corner southward for two 
hundred and fifty miles, and hence on clear through the heart of the State. These two mighty rivers 
have many tributaries, large and small; and springs in large numbers and great varieties refresh and 
beautify all parts of the State. Missouri has no desert lands. No words can describe the beauty 
and grandeur of her native forests. Walnut trees one hundred and ten feet high and twenty-two feet 
in circumference; oak trees one hundred and twen ty-five feet high and twenty feet in circumference; 
sycamores one hundred and thirty feet high and twelve feet in diameter; hickory, elm, gum, birch, 
cedar and pine, all grow in every part of the State, and from these, in 1898, Missouri, after using all 
she needed in each district, exported three hundred and fifty million feet of lumber; forty million feet 
of logs, besides six thousand three hundred and seventy-one cars of cord wood, three thousand care 
of cooperage and four million ties. The soil of fully two-thirds of the State is adapted to the raising 
of all the small fruits. The southern part being famous not only in the United States but in Europe 
as the "land of the big red apple." The fruit crop alone in Missouri amounts to twenty-six million 
dollars annually, and as a producer of corn, wheat, oats, hay and potatoes no country in the world can 
surpa.ss her. 

Missouri does not claim to be a cotton producing State, but in 1S9S more than one million two hun- 
dred thousand dollars worth of that product was sent to market, and the cotton seed products 
amounted to about sixteen million pounds. She stands first in the production of mules, hogs and 
poultry. Fortune has been kind and set the boundary lines of this State around a portion of country 
filled with an unusual amount of the mineral sub stances useful in the manufacturer's art. There 
is no territory of equal extent on the globe which contains so many different kinds and such large 
quantities of the most useful minerals as the State of Missouri: and though her mineral wealth has 
hardly been touched she ranks first in the production of lead and zinc, producing more of the latter 
than all the other states combined. Her iron fields, including Iron Mountain, which covers five hundred 
acres, and Pilot Knob, are almost inexhaustible. The coal area of Missouri is said to be twenty-three 
thousand square miles, and her coal mines produced in one year recently almost three million tons of 
coal, and that is said to be a small amount compared with what might be produced annually. In 
addition to its immense lead, zinc, iron and coal industries ^Missouri also has silver and copper; great 
beds of glass sand, pottery, tile, brick clay and an endless variety of building stone; granite lime- 
stone, sandstone and marble, and for purely ornamental purposes, a Mexican onyx, susceptible of the 
most beautiful polish. Missouri has had a wonderful history which reads almost like a fairy tale. 
Some of her inhabitants yet living can remember when she was a part of the district of Louisiana,

a wild waste of forest and praiiic. witlioiit a iiojiulatioii; the home of the Indian and tlie buffalo, and 
now sueh has been her thr"ft, she ranks in i)Oiiulation as fifth in the sisterhood of the forty-five states 
which compose the American Union, and boasts of a taxable wealth of almost one billion dollars. In 
many lines of business and manufacture Missouri'& cities lead the world. St. Louis is the great 
metropolis of the West; stretching nineteen mik^s along the Mississippi river and about eleven miles 
back from the river front. She has twenty-one railroads, and their cars arrive and depart from the 
largest and most perfectly equipped depot in the whole world. This limited space barely admits 
mention of her great population of six hundred and eighty-five thousand, her manufactories, mercantile 
houses and various industries. Viewed from the dome of her highest building one can hardly believe 
that this vast city can be the growth of less than a century, and seven-eighths of it has grown there 
inside of twenty-five years. Kansas City, Missouri, has the second live stock market of America, and 
many of her smaller cities are examples of wonderful advancement. The population of Missouri is 
estimated at about three million two hundred and fifty thousand. As to the character and quality of 
her people she admits no superior. Her most distinguished sons and daughters have become so by 
honest toil, combined with intelligence. ^lissouri takes a proud ])osition in the educational world. 




and enjoys the high distinction of having the largest public school fund of any state in the Union. She 
has a State University, three Normal schools, and a school for the higher education of colored people. 
She has three insane asylums, a school for the blind, a reform school for boys and an industrial home 
for girls, where the kindest care is taken of her unfortunates. I have space to mention only a few of 
ilissouriV sons who have risen above the ranks to distinction and world wide fame. Marvin, the 
preacher, Eugene Field, the poet, Clemens, better known all over the world as "ilark Twain," the 
humorous writer, were all born in Missouri. She has produced Statesmen in plenty; in the United 
States Senate and in Congress have "jeen seated many Missourians of whom she is justly proud. 
Among the list of her own governors may be found the names of several who were born and reared in 
Missouri. 

We have seen that in all the elements of desirable location, area, fertility of soil, inexhaustible 
mines, and enterprise ^Missouri is an empire in itself, but not half of her possibilities have been told. 
She is a land of infinite promise, and giving the broadest welcome to all honorable men and women 
•wliatever creed or clime in the future. 

"Rising rugged and reiiant, 
Lilie Aiiteus. the old giant. 
Slie will dare and do great things."

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH. 



Tlie First Uaptist chiiicli of JettVrsdii City, was 
not always the strong, j)rospei-ous and influential 
congregation it is today. Its history affords a 
striking illustration of the great advantages 
enjoyed by the citizens of the Capital City of 
the present over those who struggled with the 
circumstances attending its early history. The 
first organization was July 8, 1837, in what was 
then the new capitol of a new- and undeveloped 
State. The original members were Daniel and Ann 
Colgan, Jason and Sally Harrison, P. H. and Sarah 
Steinbergen, Eachcl Walker, Ava Eice, and three 
colored persons named General. Adam and Jennie. 
The presbyterj' was composed of Elders Kemp Scott, 
M. D. Noland and K. S. Thomas. Immediately after 
the organization five additional members were re- 
ceived by recommendation. Elder ^M. D. Xoland was 
first pastor being followed by Elders Kemp Scott, 
S. H. Ford, W. W. Keep, T. F. Lockett and J. A. 
Hollis. This list includes all who served the organi- 
tion as pastor previous to the war of the Eebellion. 
The original meetings were in the private homes of 
the members, the ordinance of Baptism being ad- 



ministered in the Missouri river and neighboring 
creeks. In 1S3S they purchased ground on Monroe 
and Miller and began the erection of a building, al- 
1 hough the entire cost of the structure was less in 
dollars and cents than ore fourth that of the founda- 
tion of the present magnificent church home; it 
required four years of struggle and self denial for 
this little band to complete the house which was 
dedicated in 1842; the building also beinsr used for 
school purposes, another evidence of the marked ad- 
vantages of today when contemplated in connection 
with the number of magnificent brick structures 
now devoted to educational purposes. Unable to 
longer brave the discouraging circumstances with 
which the little flock was burdened they disbanded 
giving each other letters of dismission. Two years 
later there was a struggle for renewed life but the 
struggle was without fruition as there is no 
record of any meeting during the period of 
five years from 1847 to 1852. In 1858 Elders A. 
P. Williams, M. D. Noland and W. B. Walthall, 
held a protracted meeting which resulted in renew^ed 
strength but soon after, the tragic events of war

made anotlier blank in llu' lii.stoiy of the ()r}j;aiii/,a 
tion which did not meet diuiug tlie strife of ISOl to 
1SC5. Elder R. H. Harris, was called to the pas- 
torate immediately after the war and was succeed- 
ed by Elder W. J. Patrick, under whose wise and 
faithful work the little church toolv on new life, sell- 
ing the old building they began the erection of an- 
other on Monroe street between Main and High. 
This building was dedicated. Dr. G. J. Johnston 
preaching the sermon, January 29, 1871. Elder Pat- 
rick resigned in lS7(t, his successors being Elders 

C. H. Hurlbet and Evans both of whosi' 

services were of short duration. In 1873 the chunli 
called to its pastorate Elder T. W. Barrett who al 
though entering upon his labors under most un 
favorable circumstances, by wise and jiatient man 
agement the church was cleared of a burdensome 
debt and gained spii'itual strength and membership. 
He was succt'cded in 1881 by Elder Kay Palmer, an 
orator of zeal and ability, who resigned in 1887 be- 
ing succeeded by Elder J. T. ^t. Johnston, whose 
qualitications admirably titled him for the pastorate 
of a church m the Capital City. His thorough knowl- 
edge of men and tine social (lualities with his ability 
as a speaker, soon drew around him a large congre- 
gation of enthusiastic admirers. The church was 
too small to accommodate the largely increased at- 
tendance and arrangements were made to sell the 
huilding which was done and the present well ap- 
pointed and modern structure was erected on Main 
and Monroe streets at a cost of about |13.0()0. Both 
the prompt erection and perfectly designed arrange 
ments of the entire church building, (which in ad- 
dition to the large and well appointed auditorium, 
includes a Sunday school room on the tirst tlnoi-, 
while in the tinished basement are the clniirli ]iar 
lors, jiastor's study, and, in fact, every con\enii'nce 
tor the hiMue of this now strong and zealous organi 
zation with its fully alive and active auxiliaries) 
is due greatly to the efforts of the building com- 
mittee composed of J. W. Edwards. H. A. (iass, G 
M. Maus and J. R. Lanikin The church was dedi- 
cated on Xoveml)er 11, 1888, Dr. Green of St. Louis 
preached the dedicatory sermon while Dr. T. ^V. 
Barrett of Columbie ottered the dedicatory prayer. 
While Di'. Johnston was pastor, the church bought 
the beautiful home at 513 East High street for a 
parsonage. During Dr. Johnston's ten years ser- 
vices as pastor, this congregation was greatly en 
riched spiritaully by his earnest and zealous efforts 
for Christ and materially benefitted by his able and 
marked ability as a financier. He resigned, accept- 
ing a call from Delmar Avenue Bajjtist church of 



S(. Louis, of wliirh he is at jiresent ]>astor. He was 
succeeded by Ke\-. W. (". Taylor of Frankfort, Ken- 
tucky, a man of great pulpit powers who for two 
years preached with great acceptance to both the 
church and community. He resigned August 18. 
1M)'J, accepting a cull from the College Avenue Bap- 
tist church of Indianapolis, Indiana, where he is 
now serving. The pastor, Elder W. T. Campbell, 
under whose spiritual guidance the church with all 
its auxiliaries is in a most happy and prosperous 
condition, is the successor of Dr. Taylor. The pres- 
ent officers of the church are: H. A. Gass, mod- 
erator; W. W. Hutchinson, clerk; T. M. Hampton, 
lie.isurei-; James A. Ellis, Houck McHenry, E. L. 
P.umi)us, L. S. Parker, Porter Gilvin, Dr. H. E. Ham- 
men andi J. B. Reynolds are the trustees; W. W. 
Hutchinson, H. W. Clarke, Benj. Hampton, G. M. 
]\raus and T. H. ^^'hitney deacons. H. A. Gass is 
superintendent of the flourishing Sunday school, 
numbering nearly IMKI scholars. Byron Leslie is sec- 
retary of the Sunday school and president of the B. 
Y. P. U., which society numbers 70 members; the 
secretary is Mrs. Byron Leslie. Mrs. H. W. Clarke 
is president of the Ladies' Social Circle. The pastor 
is the teacher of the Bible class, which, at their reg- 
ular meetings on Friday evening, engages in a 
thorough and systematic study of the bible. Tht 
finance committee is the deacons, trustees and the 
treasurer. The membership numbers 373. This 
church is highly favored in its pastor, various offi- 
cials, earnest, zealous members, and its modern, 
well appointed home. 

KI-:\'. \V. T. CAMPBELL. 

Rev. William Tinsley Campbell, jiastor First 
Baptist church of Jefferson City, was born in Sear- 
cy county, Arkansas, iMarch 9, 1852. His father, G. 
W. Campbell, was a native of Tennessee. He was 
a captain in the Confederate army in the war of 
the Rebellion and while in service died December, 
1802. In the misfortunes of war the family lost 
their ])r<i]ieity and were separated. The subject of 
this sketch came to ^Missouri in 18(io with his eldest 
brother, settling on a farm in Greene county, near 
Springfield, from which ])lace he removed to Saline 
soon after. Rev. Camjibell was converted in 1867 
and during a short stay in Arkansas, in 18G8, was 
baptized by Rev. \V. R. Miller, he however, trans- 
ferred his membership to Salt Pond church, in Sa- 
line county, Missouri, whose pastor was Rev. J. L. 
Tichnor, he soon after being licensed to preach by 
that church. Entering William Jewell college at 
Liberty, ilissouri, September, 1872, he remained six

Tears a student, paying his way by manual labor, 
during vacations and out of school hours. While 
thus engaged it is said he sawed with his own hands 
more than one hundred cords of wood. He was 
ordained to the ministry January 26, 1876, while 
still in William Jewell college and served during his 
college term two country churches as pastor two 
years. In 1878 he entered the Southern Baptist 
Theological Seminary of Louisville, Kentucky. 
AN'hile attending this famous theological school, re- 
cently removed from Greenville, South Carolina, he 
was pastor of the Portland Avenue Baptist church 
of Louisville, his labor being attended with happy 
results to the congregation which increased both in 
numbers and spiritual strength. During his theo- 
logical course at Loui.sville, his zeal in laboring for 
the cause, coupled with a close application to study, 
overtaxed his physical strength and he was i-eluct- 
antly forced to retire from both his school and pas- 
torate. Eeturning to Missouri he accepted the 
charge of the Baptist church at Westport, in 1880. 
After two years he was made missionary in Kan- 
sas City, where he organized the Olive Street Bap- 
ti.st cliurch in 1884, with thirty members and con- 
tinued the spiritual advisor of this flock of earnest 
Christians seven years, during which time the num- 
ber increased to 360, with a well appointed church 
home costing $10,000. In 1891 he went aboard tra- 
veling extensively in Egypt, Palestine, Servia and 
Euroi>e, being in company with Dr. H. M. Wharton, 
who wrote the delightful book "A Picnic in Pales- 
tine," which has not only afforded A'ery great pleas- 
ure to the lovers of the .sacred traditions connected 
with that country, but has been a source from which 
to gather a more thorough knowledge of the coun- 
try which compassed the scenes and incidents in 
the life of Christ. Keturning from Europe Rev. 
<'ampbell spent several months in Baltimore and 
Chicago studying men and methods. In 1892, he 
was elected corresponding secretary of the Missouri 
Baptis- General Association His administration ot 
this office, which he filled the following five years, 
reflects very great credit on his worth as an earn- 
est Christian worker and tact as an organizer. This 
jiosition he resigned to accei)t a call to the pastorate 
i)f South I'ark church of Kansas City, a new church 
of sixty members, which he left three years later on 
being called to his present jiastorate with one hun 
dred and eighty members. Rev. Campbell was uni- 
ted in marriage December 29, 1880, to Miss Jennie, 
daughter of J. E. Spurgeon of Pettis county, Mis- 
souri. Of the two children born to this union, one 
died in infancy while the other, Spurgeon Broadus, 
was an infant of one week, when his mother died, 



January 28. 1888, leaving him to the tender care of 
her sister. Rev. Campbell was married a second 
time May 25, 1892, to Miss Emma E. Spurgeon, a 
sister of his first wife, a lady of culture, a graduate 
of the Lexington (Mo.) Baptist Female college, and 
thoroughly in symi)athy with the noble life work of 
her husband. Of the two children born to them, 
Mary Emma, is a bright child of three years. Rev. 
Cam])bell is blessed with a good mind and body 
and although he had to secure his education by the 
work of his hands, his zeal for the cause which he 
served su]i]iorted by an indomitable will, has given 
him unusual advantages of both §tudy and travel. 
His trip to foieign lands was made at a period when 




Iti'v. W. T. Campbell. 

his ripened and recejitive mind could profit much 
by a visit to the scenes around which cluster the 
sacred associations of the Master while on earth; 
observations of which he uses most effectively in 
presenting the story of the cross. His ministerial 
work has been attended with continued and uniform 
success, and eveiy field which has been so fortunate 
as to secure his services was left greatly enriched 
in spiritual strength, numbers and material wealth. 
He is w^hat may be termed an Evangelistic pas- 
tor, yet Ills wonderful tact as an organizer gives to 
him greater force and influence in the great relig- 
ious organization, of which he is an able and worthy 
exponent, than is usual with men who possess the 
qualifications necessary to a successful Evangelist. 
The eminent Dr. W. Pope Yeaman, D. D., in his his- 
tory of the Misouri Bai)tist Associaton, says of Rev, 
Campbell: "The results of his labors during his 
five years services as corresponding secretary of the 
association, is the best commentary which can be

made on his adajitation to the office. During his 
term, Missouri, in common with the whole country, 
passed through a dark and most disastrous period 
of financial embarrassment following the crisis of 
1873. Nevertheless the financial foundations of the 
great Missouri Baptist Association was kept solid 
and prosperous while many secular enterprises went 
down in disaster. His uniform urbanity as a Chris- 
tian gentleman, his generous impulse looking out 
through a radiant face; his large heart jialpitating 
under genuine fellowship with his brethren; his 
warm and earnest gosjjel sermons, and his pathetic 
appeals for the destitute fields and the missionaries, 
contributed to make this most satisfactory record. 
During these five vears, 300 missionaries were em- 



ployed, 6,780 converts reported and 156,939.59 was 
I'aised for State missions. It is worthy of note that 
more persons were baptized by the missionaries of 
the (ieneial Association during his administration 
than during any other five years in the history of 
that body." The First Baptist church of Jefferson 
City is fortunate is securing as their spiritual ad- 
visor so able a preacher and one who comes to them 
with such a varied and rich experience. The church, 
under his pastorate with all its auxilaries, is in a 
most ju-osperous and happy condition. The Rev. 
Campbell makes his home with his genial, devoted 
wife and interesting children in the Baptist parson- 
age, a sj)lendidly api)ointed home which the con- 
gregation has provided for their pastor on East 
High street.

ST. PETER'S CATHOLIC CHURCH. 



In nothing is the spiritual, intellectual and ma- 
terial progress of Jefferson City so comj)letely 
illustrated as in a review of St. Peter's church, and 
parish, the history of which is most fascinating, and 
properly presented would till a volume larger than 
this. In 1831, occurred the first visit of a Catholic 





Filsl ('atlii)li(/ Chm-rh. Ercrli'd lS4(i. 

priest to Jefferson City. Of the number of families 
of that belief living in the county at that time 
there is no record, but from that year the visits 
of the itinerant missionary priests Mere reg- 
ular, with an ever-increasing freijuency. The 
records kept in the diocesan chancery of St. Louis 
reckon Jefferson City the oOtli ]iarish in the diocese 
and state that in 1S31 the first holy mass was cele- 
brated by Eev. Phoenix L. Verrevdt, a native of 



Father Ilelias. First Spirilual Advisor. 

Belgium and a member of the Society of Jesus, at 
that time resident at the Indian mission of Portage 
des Sioux, St. Charles, Mo. The same records state 
that Jefferson City was again visted by the Jesuits 
in 1836, and it is presumable that these zealous mis- 
sionaries did not neglect the Catholics of Cole 
county in the intervening period. In 1838 Father 
Helias came to Xew \yestphalia (now in Osage

county, then a part of tiasconailc) as resident mis- 
sionary priest, and from there made regular montli 
ly tours through the adjacent counties; his visits 
including twenty-flve missions, among them Taos 
and Jefferson City. There being no church at that 
time in Jefferson City, the meeting was in a private 
house. He placed the mission under the patronage 
of St. Ignatius, who continued to be venerated by 
the mission as their jjatron saint until the year 
1S46, when the first church was built and dedicated 
under the title of St. Peters. In 1842 Father Helias 
transferred his residence, by order of his superior, to 
Taos, from which place he continued to attend the 
flock at Jefferson City until the appointment of a 
resident pastor in 1840. In 1845 the Catholics of 
Jefferson City were sufficiently numerous to un- 
dertake the erection of 
abuilding. There being 
no resident priest here, 
the following named 
laymen: J. W. Wolters. 
G. II. Dulle, Anton 
Maus, M. Wallendorf, 
F. Roer, B. Eveler. G.

undertook the then 
Herculean task. The 
result of the united ef- 
forts of these pious and 
earnest christians ' [is 
shown by the cut of 
the first building found 
in this article. Soon 
after the erection of the 

church, Messrs. J. B. Wolters and B. Eveler were 
sent to St. Louis to request of the Kight Rev. P. K. 
Kendrick to grant them a resident spiritual advisor. 
Rev. Jame.s S. !Mnr]>hy was chosen and assumed 
the duties of resident pastor in July 1840. The pio-

found in all well organized ji;u'ishes. Fath(»r Mur-

beloved pastor, Rev. H. Meurs, 
August 24, 1876. From the day 
of his arrival, September 20, 1876, 
St. Peter's parish has made sub- 
stantial progress, spiritually, in-

his parents to America in 1854. On the year nf 
their arriAal in St. Louis, both parents were victims 
to the cholera epidemic, leaving their son an orphan 
at the age of nine. Father Uland, C. M., who at 
tended his ])arents in their closing hours, took an 
interest in the bright orphan lad and placed him in 
St. Vincent's Orphanage, where he remained ti\c 
years, during which time a desire to consecrate his 
life to the service of the blaster grew dominant in 
his youthful breast. In 1S5!1 he entered the St.

charge of the Fathers of the Society of Jesus. In

the Sacred Heart of Jesus looks down on 
the congregation from the central niche, 
with an expression so sweetly benign it 
seems to live. The side niches contain large 
statues of the apostles. Saints Peter and 
Paul. In fact, all the statuary and other 
ornaments of this magnificently appointed 
auditorium are grandly pleasing in effect, 
and when the spacious room is filled with 
the glorious harmony of the cultured voices 
of the choir, supported by rich volume of 
melody from the organ, the eft'ect is in- 
tensely satisfying and inspiring. In addi-

St. Peter's after just experience enough to

THE GERMAN EVANGELICAL CENTRAL CHURCH. 



The German Evangelical Central congregation 
of Jefferson City is a member of the German Evan- 
gelical Synod of North America, a church associa- 
tion which advocates the union of the two branches 
of the Protestant church, the Lutheran and Re- 
formed. The history of this church association is a 
remarkable exemplification of the parable of the 
mustard seed from which sprang and grew quite a 
large tree. In 1840, six ministers of the gospel hav- 
ing charge of German congregations in the vicinity 
of St. Louis, met in a little log chnruh in Gravois 



Settlement, St. Louis county, Missouri, and ther( 
formed an organization called "The Evangelica' 
Church Association of the West." This was the in 
significant beginning of the above mentioned Evan 
gelical Synod, which is now represented in almosi 
all states of the I'nion and in Canada, numbering 
900 ministers, 1,1:J0 congregations, 61,500 members 
25.500 associate members and 195.000 communi 
cants. The congregation at Jefferson City was or 
ganized as early as ISoS, but for more than tw( 
vears was without a regular pastor, services beinf

caducted at certaiu iiiteivals by itiiieiant preach- 
1 5. The meeting were held in private houses of 
1 Mubers until 1859, when a plain bi'iik church was 
ijilt at a cost of about §1.500. In June. ISCO. Rev. 

seph Eieger, one of the pioneer preachers and 
i unders of the Evangelical Synod, became the first 

ttled pastor of the congregation. Soon after his 

rival a parsonage was built at a cost of §1,300. 

le efforts of this pious, sincere and kind-hearted 




pastor were signally blessed and the congregation 
lourished under his leadership. Although of a frail 
constitution he was an indefatigable worker and 
Dot only administered to the wants of his own flock, 
but was ever willing to do good wherever he had 
an opportunity. During the civil war he voluntar- 
ily and gratuitously performed the duties as chap- 
lain of the state penitentiary. It was no uncommon 
thing during that tragic period to find the parson- 
age turned into a hospital, where sick and wounded 
privates and officers were being nursed by him. He 
was well known to the state officers, being intimate 
with a number of them. The colored race never had 
a better friend than Mr. Rieger. and he was one of 
the first and principal promoters of Lincoln Insti- 
stute, serving as a member of the Board of Regents 
of said institute until his death. On the 20th of 
August, ISfj'.t ■•Father" Rieger, as he was common 
ly known, was called from his sphere of activity 
iind the mortal remains of this faithful servant of 



the Lord were laid to rest in the church cemetery 
in the presence of the Governor, many state oflii- 
cers, all the preachers of the city, a large congrega- 
tion, but especially the poor and common people- 
whom he had befriended by his many benevolent 
acts. In November, 1861), Rev. E.Huber, a young, able 
and energetic divine who, for more than one year, 
had been the assistant of Rev. Rieger, was unani- 
mously elected by the congregation as pastor, and 
as such he continued until January, 1874. 
During his administration a two-story 
school building was erected and the paro- 
chial school established. Rev. Huber 
was succeeded by Rev. H. Klerner, who 
assumed charge of the congregation in 
May, 1874, and directed its aft'airs until 
June, 187C, when he resigned, removing 
to St. Louis. For the next five years, 
from 1876 to 1881, Rev. C. Haas was 
pastor in charge, and after his resignation 
in October, 1881, the congregation se- 
cured the services of Rfev. C. A. Richter, 
a very eloquent preacher. In October, 
1888, Rev. J. L". Schneider became his 
successor and proved a faithful and pru- 
dent worker. The old church building 
being inadequate for ,the needs of the 
growing congregation it was decided to 
erect a larger and more modern house 
of worshi]!. In 1892 the contract for the 
new cluircli was awarded to Mr. Fred 
Hinder, the president of the congregation. 
With pardonable ]>ride the congregation 
may point to its substantial and beautiful church 
edifice, which has been erected and furnished at a 
cost of §10,000. After serving the congregation 
five years w i t h 
marked success. 
Eev. Schneider in 
1893, accepted a 
call as Principal 
of Was li i ngt II ii 
High School, and 
Rev.Th. L. Muel- 
ler, the present 
pastor, was chosen 
as his successor. 
In 1898 the value 
of the church pro- 
perty was greatly 

enhanced by the erection of a modern and commo- 
dious parsonage. The congregation is in a prosper- 
ous condition. The present enrolled membership is 
24.5, viz. : Men's Association, 101 ; Ladies' Society, 99,

The congregation maintains a Sunday school, hav- 
ing an eni-ollment of l!()() children, with an average 
attendance (if l.")(), the superintendent of which is

The President of the Ladies' Society is Mrs. Fred

gelican Central church, all of which have com- 
fortable quartei's, including the Sunday school in 
their social home in the well furnished basement, 
are in healthy working condition. It is really a 
I)leasure to note a congregation and pastor so liaji 
l>y in all their relations, and where all freely d<) 
their duty to this great uplifting factor in the cap- 
ital city.

a meeting on Sunday for social worship 
and communion in the home of the small 
lint earnest hand, the services being con- 
ducted by Messrs. Boone and Sliainnm. 
As their numbers increased the necessity 
for a permanent place of worship became 
imperative. While the subject of a 
churcdi building was talked nf they were 
not tinanrially able to undertake the erec- 
tion of one. and temporarily met in a 
small biick house south of the State Armory, and 
afterwards in the old ^1. E. stone church baclv of the 
iladison House, then in the old conrt-house. In the 
meantime Maj. J. M. Clarke and wife had become 
members of the organization, also John Walker, 
State Auditor, and Mr. Shannon, who had been 
elected State Su]it. of Public Schools; with these 
and other valuable additions the little congregation, 
with new courage, took steps to secure a house 
of worshiji. and witli the assistance secured 
throughout the State were successful in procuring 
the means, and in 1883 rejoiced in laying the corner 
si line of the present edifice. The congregation has 
.-leadily but slowly grown, and now numbers 125 
members. It has enjoyed the ministrations of schol- 
arly and able preachers, among them Kev. J. W. 
^lontjoy, who preached the dedicatory sermon, and 
Kev. J. H. Garrison, now editor of the Christian 
Kvangelist of St. Louis, an organ of wide circulation 
and great influence. Rev. J. P. Pinkerton is the 
present pastor, having been in charge two years, and 
under his spiritual guidance, the church is enjoying 
a substantial growth. The congregation is contem- 
plating the enlargement- and improvement of their 
house of worship, and will, in the near future, take 
active steps to this end. The auxiliaries of the 
church are the Society of the Christian Workers, of 
which Mrs. W. T. Carrington is President; Mrs. C.

REV. J. P. PINKERTOX. 

Rev. -Tames Parrish Pinkerton. pastor of the 
Christian church of Jett'erson City, was born in 
Woodford county. Ky., March C, 1845. His father. 
Dr. Louis L. IMnkerton, 1>. D.. a native of Baltimore, 
Md., was a distinguished minister of the same de- 
nomination, and one of the most prominent educa- 
tors of the blue grass state, being the founder of the 
Female Orphan School at Midway, Ky., now hand- 
somely endowed. He was Professor of Belle Letters 
in Kentucky L'niversity. The subject of this sketch 
acquired his education in the private schools near 
his home, and Baconian Institute, of which his 
father was principal, until the age of fifteen, 
when he entered Kentucky University where he 
continued four years. In consequence of the 
blighting events of the Civil War, the school

was groallv iiitcri-uptcd, Gen. Bragg, the famous 
raider iu charge of tlie Southern forces, using 
the building as a hospital. Eev. Pinkerton, at 
the age of nineteen, engaged in teaching, in 
A\hich exalted profession he continued the follow- 
ing two years in Clark and Favette counties, during 
which time (following the legal bent of his mind) 
lie read law. and later was a close student in the 
office of Judge Wm. Kincade, of Lexington, Ky., 
where he was admitted to the bar. He later grad- 
tiated from the Indianapolis law school, class "68, 
after which he returned to Lexington and engaged 
in teaching. After one year, in 1870, he removed to 
Emporia, Kansas, engaging in the practice of law 
and operating in real estate the following two years. 
From Emporia he went to Connersville, Ind., where 
lie engaged in banking with his cousin, J. X. Hustin, 
who was subsequently U. S. Treasurer under Presi- 
dent Benjamin Harrison. Moving from this place 
to Lexington, he assisted his brother-in-law in the 
furniture business, and at his death (which occurred 
soon after) assisted iu winding up his estate. Kev. 
Pinkerton had for several years been impressed that 
it was his duty to preach the gospel, to which he 
responded, occasionally with short sermons. He 
was not, however, ordained to preach until 1879, 
by the Christian church, Greenup, Ky., where he 
continued as pastor the following four years. He 
was later two years at Grayson in Northeast Ken- 
tucky, removing from there to Terrell, Texas, where 
lie was pastor of the Christian church two years, 
when he resigned, accepting a call to McKinney, 
Texas, from which place, after three years, he re- 
moved to Austin, the capital of that state, where 
lie served as pastor two years. From Austin he 
removed to Springfield, Mo., where he remained as 
pastor of the Christian church the following six 
years, and although all the churches of which he 
had charge were greatly enriched in spiritual and 
material wealth during his pastorate (two of his 
congregations building a church during his adminis- 
tration) it M-as at Springfield his efforts were 
crowned with the most marked success. During 
his pastorate of this church there were 500 addi- 
tions. When he resigned, the memberhsip being 
over 700. At the request of the State Board, who 
felt the denomination should have a strong repre- 
sentative in the pulpit of the Capital City, he came 
to his present charge. Rev. Pinkerton was married 
October 7, 1869, to Miss Katherine S. Patterson, of 
Lexington, Ky., a lady of culture and refinement 
whose rare Christian graces are continuously and 
actively used iu the interest of the noble cause 
which engages the life work of her husband. This

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. 



In Jiinr. 1834, Rev. Robert L. McAfee organized 
an Old School Presbytt-i-ian i-liiirch in Jefferson Citj 
with the following charter nienibers: AVilliani Bol- 
ton, Samuel L. Hart, Thomas (t. Hart and Mes- 
dames Mary Rutherford, Ann T. Hart, Catharine 
L. Hart, .Vnn E. Hart and the following servants 
of Samuel L. Hart: William, Putnam, Dick, Polly 
iind Maria. Mr. McAfee remained the spiritual 
advisor of this small band of earnest Christians 
until 1843, when he was succeeded by Rev. H. O. 
fioodricli. D. D., who remained one year, his suc- 
cessors being Rev. l)avid Coulter. Richard H. Allen 
j.nd John G. Fackler. Rev. L. D. Longhead was the 
next pastor and he was followed by Rev. John J. 
Cook, who continued in charge until ISGO. Dur- 
ing the tragic period of the war of the Rebellion, 
if any service, there was no record preserved. In 
June, ISGo, the surviving trustees were authorized 
to sell the church property, which was purchased 
by the M. E. church North. This disposition of the 
<hurch property seemed the passing of this church 
organization from the religious field of the Capital 
<'ity, however, several unsuccessful attempts were 
made to revive the organization, but the remaining 
struggling sparks became extinct and now it ex- 
ists only in history. February 4, 1866, Rev. A. T. 
Norton, D. D., organized a church with twelve 
members, all of whom were formerly with the old 
f-chool organization. Rev. J. Addison Whittaker 
took charge of this earnest band (1866) and was, 
in 1873, succeeded by Rev. W. G. Keady, who re- 
mained in charge two years, after which the con- 
gregation Avas without a spiritual leader nearly 
ten years, no services being held except the Sab- 
bath school and an occasional preaching by Rev. 
B. H. Charles during the years of 1878-9, after which 
this organization suffered the fate of its predeces- 
aoT and passed from its declining existence to his- 
tory. In September, 1883, Rev. Thomas Marshall, 
Synodical Missionary, brought together the pres- 
ent organization, special service being held in 188.5 
by Rev. Wm. H. Claggett, who was succeeded by 
Rev. O. W. Gauss, who remained five years. In 
1800 the Rev. J. P. ^Yatkins became the pastor, con- 
tinuing until 1894, when he was succeeded by Rev. 
<Teo. H. Williamson, under whose administration 
the present beautiful edifice on the corner of Mc- 
Carty and Madison, was erected. The auditorium 
is substantially finished in polished oak with ele- 
gant stained glass windows, the ceiling and general 
arrangement, interior and exterior, being gothic. 
An elegant pipe organ assists the very excellent 



choir in filling the siiacious i-oom with triumphant 
harmony. In addition to the well appointed audi- 
torium, there is a well furnished chapel, pastor's 
study, church ])arlors and other conveniences for 
the Sunday school, jirayer meeting and the various 
auxiliaries of the church. The spiritual affairs are 
at present in charge of Rev. John F. Hendy, D. D., 
(see biographical sketch opi)osite page) and under 
whose able, earnest and w-ell directed efforts the 
church has been growing in spiritual strength and 
numbers since his coming in 1896. In addition to 
the regular and usual services there is an excellent 




First Presbj'tei'ian Cliurcli. 

Sunday school, of w-hich Mr. O. G. Burch is super- 
intendent; prayer meetings are regular and well 
attended, the ladies societies are earnest and ac- 
tive, the united efforts of the members accomplish- 
ing every good work they undertake. This church 
is a great factor for good in Jefferson City, the con- 
gregation includes a number of its most prominent 
and wealthy citizens. 

RE^'. J. F. HEXDY, D. D. 

Rev. John Fenton Hendy, pastor of the First 
Presbyterian church of Jefferson City, was born in 
North Ireland, August 23, 1837. His parents 
were Francis and Martha (ilolyneux) Hendy, the 
father was in the linen industry, one for which that 
country is famous. In 1841, the family emigrated 
to America, and settled on a farm in Kenton coun- 
ty, Kentucky, where the father was a farmer. The 
early education of the subject of this sketch was in

In the fall of the same year, he entered the Theo- 
logical department of the University at Princeton, 
New Jersey, graduating class of '65. In 18()4, he 
was licensed by the Presbytery at Augusta. Ky., 
and in I860, he was ordained in the Second church 
of Covington, where he was one year pastor. He 
was transferred from Covington to the churches 
of Crittenden and Lebanon in Grant county. Ky.. 
where he spent two years. From there in 1867, in re- 
.sponse to a call, he removed to Vincennes, Indiana, 
where his services as jiastor were attended with 
hapjpy results the following Ave years. During his 
stay he was tendered the presidency of Vincennes 
University, which he declined. In 1872, he removed 
to Owenshdi-o, Kentucky, where he was the spiri-

tual advisor of the I^irsl church the nine years fol- 
lowing, and which under his able and earnest efforts 
trebled in numbers, the cliuich being remodeled, 
greatly improved and enlarged. During his minis- 
try at this place he was live months in Europe dur 
ing 1880. In 1881, he responded to a call to the 
pulpit of the First chui'ch of Emi>oria, Kan., where, 
in addition to the duties of pastor of the church, 
he was president of the New Presbyterian College, 
the exacting duties of which, one year later, re- 
quired his resignation as pastor of the church. 
Here he remained ten years, and in addition to the 
duties of directing the educational affairs of the 
institution, he was its financial director, which in- 
cluded the raising of a large sum of money; $50,000 
of which, by the exercise of his strong personal, 
backed by a good cause, he was able to gather from 
the wealthier people of the older settled eastern 



states. During his administration. niaguifi<-i<'n 
buildings were erected at a cost of S^i^l.^oo. th( 
money being raised by his earnest and well directec 
efforts. In 1892, on account of failing health, i 
result of his over-taxing and continuous efforts ii

He then made a second visit to Europe for tin 
double purjjose of recreation and adding to thi

H. W. EWING. 

Heuiy ^^'atkins Ewiiig was born in Ricliiiiond, 
Kaj county, Mo., July 4, 184!), was educated in tlie 
public schools of St. Louis, where he gi'aduated from 
the high school with the highest honors of his class, 
later graduating at the Missouri State University 
at Columbia, 1872, being the valedictorian of the 
class, and receiving the orator's medal. He com- 




I^leted the law course at Columbia, and was ad- 
mitted to practice, but on the death of his father, 
in 18T;^>, was elected clerk of the Supreme Court (a 
circuni.stance which changed the course of his life 
and took from the bar one of its most intellectual 
and promising members). He was elected and 
served four terms in this important position, resign- 
ing after a continuous service of eighteen years. 
In 1884 he purchased a controlling interest in the 
Tribune Printing Company and became its presi- 
dent and the editor of the daily and weekly Tribune, 
which, under his skillful and able direction, assisted 
by his great personal influence, became one of the 
strongest elements in guiding the course of Dem- 
ocracy- in the State. He continued the head and 
director of this powerful organ of Democracy until 
his death, at Battle Creek, Michigan (where he had 
gone two weeks previous to seek relief), September 
1, lSt)8. Mr. Ewing was a distinguished represen- 
tative of one of the most intellectual and cultured 



families of the State, and one of exceptional social 
and i)()litical intluenre. His father. Judge E. B. 
Ewing, was secretary of State, attorney-general, cir- 
cuit judge and twice Supreme judge. His mother, 
Elizabeth Allen Ewing. whose home is on East Main 
street, this city, is a sister of Governor Henry Allen 
Watkins of Louisiana, for w'hom he was named. 
His accomplished and devoted wife (a lady of rare 
culture and personal beauty), who survives him, 
was Miss Mattie V. Chappell of Jefferson City. His 
brothers-in-law are prominent in social, political and 
financial circles. They are F. M. Cockrell, now 
nearly thirty years United States Senator from 
Missouri; Hon. Phil. E. Chappell of Kansas City, a 
])rominent and wealthy financier; Judge J. L. Smith, 
presiding judge of the Kansas City Court of Ap- 
peals, one of the ablest jurists of the State; the re- 
cently deceased Hon. John R. Walker of Kansas 
City; Maj. T. O Towles, deputy State superintendent 
of insurance, is the husband of his sister, Florence. 
Other members of the Ewing family in Jefferson 
City and in other i)arts of the State are i)rominent 
in financial, politicnl and social circles. One of his 
most intimate friends and political class-mates was 
the versatile Eugene Field, the children's poet. 
Also his class-mates at the State University were 
Hon. James E. Cooney, at present a member of Con- 
gress; Judge Switzler of Omaha; Prof. T. A. John- 
son of Boonville; Roswell iL Field of Chicago, and 
a number of others who have since become distin- 
guished. The lanientfd Hon. Richard P. Bland was 
a most devoted friend, ilr. Ewing having in charge 
his cam])aign when a candidate for the nomination 
for president before the Chicago convention. He 
was for many years a member of the Missouri Press 
Association, and its president one term, 1896 and 
1897. Mr. Ewing needs none of the cold conceits 
of sculptured marble to preserve his memory to the 
people of Jefferson City and the State. When you 
ask one in Jefferson City to tell you something of 
Henry Ewing, you can see an expression cover the 
face which tells plainly that in speaking of Henry 
Ewing, those who knew him intimately, feel keenly 
the inefficiency of words to express the love and 
high esteem in which they hold dear the memory 
of this manly man. With many unbidden tears 
will start when your questions recall recollections 
of his handsome form, pleasant face, genial and 
courtly manners, kind and gentlemanly deportment. 
He was loved and honored most bv those who knew

within ianj;e of thi» snnsliiue of his presence re- 
ceived a blessiuj;', and tliose who needed material 
assistance were not denied. He was a scholar, jour- 
nalist and political counselor, eminent among' ilis- 
sourians, eloquent in speech, elegant in presence, 
never an office-seeker, hut a powerful intiuence in 
the support of his friends, to whom he gave his un- 
swerving devotion. He had the courage of his con 
victions, but was always fair, chivalrous in battle, 
and those who opposed his views could not but love 
him and admire his noble qualities. His name will- 
long live in memory, honored with kindly recollec- 
tions of the incidents of his generous and noble life, 
which are too numerous to even mention in this 
short article. His surviving widow, unwilling to 
endure her sorrow in the stately and liospitable 
home, ■■8choenburg," in the south suburbs of this 
city, after the departure of the loved and congenial 
companion, whose presence made it a place of joy,

A. P. GRIMSHAW. 

Arthur P. Clrinishaw, Mayor of Jefferson City, 
was born in Nottingham, England, Jan, 20, 18-19. 
His parents, Jonathan and Eliza Maria (Topham) 
Orimsbaw, came to this country when he was an 
infant, stopping in 8t. Louis, after six years remov- 
ing to Jefferson City. Here the subject of this 
sketch received the educational advantages afforded 
by the city schools, after which he attended Wy- 
man's University of 8t. Louis, where he graduated, 
in 18G1. He then accepted a position with the 
United States Express Company as messenger on 
the Missouri Pacific, bi'tween 8t. Louis and Atchi- 
son, Kansas, in which capacity he served IS years, 
and was then made cashier of the United States 
Express office at Atchison. Resigning this position, 
he was apjiointed assistant postmaster of Jefferson 
City under Capt. Steininger during President Har- 
rison's administration, serving one year. He was 
elected ("(junty Clerk, in 1884, to fill an unexpired 
term of two years, and again elected, in 1886, for 
full term. He was ajipointed joint agent for the 



I'acirtc and United States Express Companies to 
succeed his father, Jonathan Grimshaw, in 18U0, in 
connection with which he is ticket agent for the 
Chicago and Alton Railroad at Jefferson City. In 
18!tl he was elected mayor of the city, serving two 
terms of two years each, and after an interval of 
four years, the citizens feeling the need of his effi- 




cient services, lie was again elected to this impor- 
tant off'ice. He was the first president of the Com- 
mercial Club of Jefferson City, and was one of the 
leading spirits in its organization; was the first 
superintendent of the Jefferson City Bridge and 
Transit Comjiany, serving two years. 

He is a Mason, member of the Rlue Lodge, Cliap- 
ter and Commandery. Is an active member of the 
Grace Episcopal church, of which he is treasurer. 
Mr. Grimshaw was married September 20, 1870, in 
Huutsville, Ohio, to Miss Juliette, daughter of 
Kemj) Troodlow Carter, a native of Richmond, Va. 
Their two sons, Kemp Goodlow and Arthur Perry, 
are owners and proprietors of the Grimshaw Broth- 
ers Grocery, of Jefferson City. 

Mr. Grimshaw is a broad, practical business man, 
whose worth is appreciated and recognized by the 
Capital City, of which he is now the official head. 
His recent message to the council is one of the 
cleanest, most practical documents which has come 
under our observation. His home is >^in E. High st.

CEX. H. CLAY KWINlJ. 

General Henry <"lay Kwing. juesident of the Ex 
I hange Bank of Jefferson City, was born August lo 
18l*S. in this city, where he grew to manhood, and 
has continued, most iirominently identified with Hi 
interesis since. His early edu<ati<in was in tht 
public schools of this comity. Following the legal 
bent of his mind, he studied law under his father 
.ludge Robert A. Ewing. His mother was Jant 
Ramsey, a daughter of General Jonathan Ramsey 
one of the pioneers of Missouri, having immigrated 
to this State in 1S17 from Kentucky. In 18o2 he 
was admitted to the bar by Judge G. W. Miller. Ht 
was early associated in his legal juactice with Judge 
E. L. Edwards, and later a number of years with 
J. L. Smith (now presiding judge of the Kansas Citj 
Court of Appeals and one of the most eminem 
jurists of the Statei. the firm being Ewing & Smith 
Such was the jiopularity and reputation of this firm 
that they were emplo\ed on one side of every cast 
before the Supreme Court of Jefferson City out 
temi. He was one of the organizers of the Ex 
change Bank, of which he is now president. He 
was also a stockholder and president of the Osage 
Live Stock Company, which still owns 5,000 acres 
of land in Osage county, is president of the Osage 
Ice Company, which did business at Osage City 
He was associated with P. E. Chappell, J. L. Smith

aud others in ilie lli'sjiei-ian C'attle Comiiany of 
Texas, was president of the Jefferson Citv Land 
ronijiany wliich oix-iatcd huj;t'ly in Kansas City, 
and a number of other important tiuaneial interests 
have been guided largely by the councils of his well 
balanced mind. In addition to his prominence and 
activity as a lawyer, he was attorney-general of Mis- 
souri during the term of Governor Woodson, his 
administration of the otTice reflecting credit on him- 
self and the Judgment of those who honored him 
with the important trust. He represented Cole 
county in the State Legislature one term, and was 
a commissioner of the [Supreme Court of the State. 
He served in this important capacity (which was 
really that of Supreme judge) two years, his asso- 
ciates being Judge John F. Phillips, at present 
United States district judge of Kansas City, and 
the distinguished Judge Alexander Martin, now 
dean of the law department of the State Universit>- 
at Columbia. In this jKJsition his legal ability aud 
long experience as a practitioner were evidenced in 
the able councils and decisions made while on the 
bench. AVhen attorney-general he instituted aud 
conducted with marked skill and ability the great 
suit of the State of Missouri to set aside the ques- 
tionable sale of the Missouri I'acific railroad, made 
by the Republican administration under (iov. 
Fletcher. His distinguished associates in the case 
being Hon. I'.ritton A. Hill and Frank Bowman. 
Mr. Ewing was united in marriage Dec. 12, 185.5, 
to Miss Georgia, daughter of Walter G. and Emily 
A. Chiles of (Jlasgow. Jlissouri, in which place the 
father was a prominent merchant. Mrs. Ewing is 
a niece of the late <'reu. Sterling iPapi Price. General 
Ewing. during his long residence in the city of his 
nativity, has been a prominent figure in its material 
and intellectual progress. His intelligent and earn- 
est opposition to the removal of the capital was 
marked and effective. He killed the bill for a prop- 
osition to submit the question to the voters when 
a member of the Legislature, and it was from his 
well poi.sed legal mind came the able documents 
which presented the legal ])hase in opposition to the 
measure. His active op])osition to the removal con- 
tinued until the important question was finally 
settled. General Ewing is a consistent mamber of 
the M. E. church iSouthi of this city, of which he is 
a steward. He is a man of broad mind and liberal 
culture, with a rich aud varied experience and a 
reputation as a citizen, lawyer and scholar second 
to none in the State. We (juote the words of a few 
eminent men who know him intimately. Former 
Adjutant General John B. Waddill said of him: 



■■•hidge 11. <-'lay Ewing is a lawyer of ability, a jurist 
of experience, a more capable and upright citizen 
is not in the State." Former Governcu' Pi-oct<u- 
Knott of Kentucky: "H. Clay Ewing is not only a 
gentleman of the highest moral character, but one 
whose native aliility aud profound legal (pialities 
have eminently fitted him for the exalted position of 
Supreme judge. I am able to say this from an inti- 
mate, jieisonal ac(iuaintauce of more than twenty 
years." Hon. Phil. E. Chapjiell of Kansas ("ity, 
former State treasurer, said of him: ".Vfler fifteen 
years intiuuite acciuaintauce I can say of him, he is 
au honest, noble and just man. professionally at the 
head of the bar of the State." I»r. S. S. Laws, 




former ](resident of ilic .Missouri State I'niversity: 
"1 had the honor to knijw Judge H. L'hiy Ewing as 
a curator of the I'niveisity, as attorney-general of 
our State, as a uu'uiber of the General Assembly, 
aud in his judicial capacity on the Supreme bench 
as commissioner, and from a close observation, I 
cannot be mistaken in stating that in him I find the 
Jeffers(rnian qualificatious for official trust, hon- 
esty, coiniietence and fidelity." Col. D. H. Arm- 
strong, foiiuer United States Senator from Mis- 
souri: "1 have known H. Clay Ewing (juite inti- 
mately nearly twenty years. He has held many 
positions of honor and trust by the votes of his fel- 
low citizens, aiul in all of them he has discharged

the various flntit-s imiiosod houestly, faitlifuU.y aud 
satisfactorily to the people." Former Governor 
Charles H. Hardin: "H. Clay Ewiug of Jefferson 
City is a gentleman of high social standing, unim- 
peachable character, and a lawyer of large and 
varied experience, and a popular and sound jurist. 
He has excei)tional capacity and learning in the 
law, and is a man eminently distinguished for his 
ability and integrity." Judge John F. Phillips, once 
chief justice of the Court of Appeals of Kansas City, 
Missouri: "He is an able lawyer, a wise and con- 
scientious judge, whose character is above reproach 
and whose integrity is immovable." Hon. John F>. 
Hale, a member of Congress from the Second dis- 
trict: "He is a man of rare character and excej)- 
tional legal attainments." Judge Robert D. Ray, 
formerly on the Supreme bench of Missouri: "I 
have known General Ewing for many years as an 
able and experienced lawyer, a gentleman of high 
character, of unquestioned personal integrity and 
professional standing." Judge J. L. Smith, presid- 
ing judge of the Court of Appeals: ''He is a 
thoroughly accomplished, learned, able and upright 
lawyer and jurist." Hon. John W. Henry, ex-judge 
of the Supreme Court of Missouri: "He is a lawyer 
of high standing, having served with distinction as 
attornej-general of the State, and more recently 
as a member of the Supreme Court Commission. 
The manner in which he discharged the duties of 
the latter office was entirely satisfactory to every 
member of the court and to the bar of the State, and 
through his term of seivice he not only sustained, 
but added to his reputation as a lawyer of ability, 
and demonstrated his possession of all the (lualities 
requisite to fit one for a high judicial position." 
The home of General Ewing, with his cultured wife, 
is Xo. 117 ^^■est High street.

MAJ. J. M. CLARKE, 

:Maj. Joseph Marcus Clarke, now deceased, was 
born June 4, 1814, in Bethel, O., in the county of 
Clearmont, the birthplace of the illustrious Gen. 
U. S. Grant. His father, Houton Clarke, was a na- 
tive of Yorkshire, England, from which place, with 
his widowed mother, he came to America, locating 
in Virginia, the year preceding the outbreak of the 
Revolutionary war; here he grew to manhood when 
he removed to Ohio, being one of the early pioneers 
of that state. Of his family of three sons and four 
daughters, the subject of this sketch was the third 
child. He grew to manhood in the village of his 
birth where he obtained a good education in the 
common schools, and later excelled in the advanced 
studies of Halls Academy at Batavia, and before 
the age of 20 was a most successful teacher. When 
21 he joined his brother in conducting the Illinois 
State Journal at Shawneetown, the third paper es- 
tablished in that state. At this time he also edited 
and published a semi-monthly literary journal, 
called the "Ladies Amulet." His brother, with 
whom he had been associated, sold his interest to 
Maj. Clarke, who continued to manage and edit 
both journals for two years; owing to the malarial' 
district in that flat country and the confining and 
exacting duties of his Imsiness, his health failed, 
when he disposed of his newspaper ]>lant and en- 
gaged in purchasing horses, for which he found a 
market in the state of Alabama, and later in Vir- 
ginia, where he met 3Irs. A. E. S. Liggon. whose 
comjianionshiji engendered a mutual love and re- 
spect, which resulted in marriage in 18?.5. after 
which he settled on a plantation in Amelia county, 
that state. The fatal shadow, consumption, entered 
this happy and prosperous home in 184?>, its victim 
being the devoted wife. Maj. Clarke, in 1845 was 
married to the wife who survives him. Miss Lavenia 
Xunnelly, and in October of the same year, removed

born near Leesburg, London county, ^'irginia. June

William McCarty, a large land owner in Virginia, 
and his mother an English lady who was visiting in 
the family of George Washington, then President of 
the I'nited States, when he met and married her. 
Mr. jMcCarty was raised on a farm and educated at 
Virginia University, at Charlotte, Yn. When of age 
he went South to make his fortune, and in 1835 came 
to ^Missouri, first settling in Fayette, Howard county, 
and in July, 1886, came to Jefferson City, where 
he remained till his death. He was, for many years, 
with Gen. Thomas L. Price, with whom he owned 
and operated stage lines before thedaysof railroads. 
He was married in this city May 4, 1838, to Miss 
Algira Hughes, who was born and reared in "S'ir- 
ginia, and who came with her family to Jefferson 
City in November, 1837, arriving the day the old 
State Caj>itol was burned. Eight children were born

home which is now a part of the McCarty House.

City, but it belongs to Missouri; it is a memory, a 
tradition and superstition, and yet as royal a real-

who yet retains, in all of its glory, the lost art 
of making a genuine pot of cotfee and baking a 
skillet of genuine corn bread. If that old house 
could think and write, what a wonderful book it 
could publish of two generations of Missourians, 
the first generation having to do with pioneers, the

time the JlcCarty house has entertained nearly all

who. at some time or other, did not paitake of the 
hospitalities of the Mc('ai-ty. 

Speaking of his lioiei in the ante-bellum days,

Then Shci'ilfs and Collectors received taxes in sjit

dia ISolton Price, survived his birth only a few 
days, which sad circumstance drew to the promis- 
ing boy the generous hearts of many mothers. His 
early childhood was sjient in the elegant and s]iaci- 
ous home of his birth, his play ground being the en- 
chanting hills and valleys surrounding the Capital 
City, where he aci|nired his early education. "His

E. SIMONSEN. 

Ernest Simonsen, one of the most enterprising 
citizens of Jefferson City, was born near Halmstad, 
Sweden, November 30, 1858, where he attended the 
elementary school tintil 1875, when he was admitted 
to the Technical School at Orebro, Sweden, from 
which he graduated as mechanical engineer, class 
of 1S7S. He then engaged as mechanical draftsman 
at Halmstad's MekaniskaVerkstad, until 1881, when 
he left Sweden, and came to America, where he 
worked short periods for some of the leading ma- 
chine manufacturing firms of the East in the 
capacity of machinist, with a view of gaining more 
knowledge of the ways of his, adopted country. He 
engaged (1882), as mechanical draftsman with the 
Bridgc^liort Machine Tool \\'orks, at Bridgeport, 
Conn., which position he held two years, when he 
was made general su]ierintendent of the works, fill- 
ing this important position with marked ability. 
He resigned this position in 1888 to accept one as 
general superintendent of the Ingersoll-Sergeant 
Rock Drill Co., of New York, remaining only a short 
time (till May 1, 1889), when he made a trip to Eu- 
rope, where he visited his native home and attended 



the I'aris Exposition, returning to America the ft 
lowing October. 

He came to Jefferson City, in 1S89, and pii 
cliased what was kno^^n as the Jefferson City Fou 
dry, and continued the business under the nan 
of the Simonsen-Walther Mfg. Co. In Januar 
1894, he engaged with Mr. P. H. Loethen in scie 
tific heating, under the firm name of Jefferson Het 
ing Co., doing a general hot water and steam hef 
ing business, managing both companies until ISi: 
when he disposed of the foundry business in ord 
to give more attention to heating contracting. Tl 
company has been in existence six years and li 
successfully executed several large and ini]iorta 




heating contracts, the universal success of which 
largely due to Mr. Simonsen's ability as a heati 
engineer. Among the many important contracts t 
the Cole County Court House, Gasconade Couu 
Court House, four buildings of the Lincoln Ins 
tute, Missouri Pacific Passenger Station, State .' 
mory. Exchange Bank, Dallmeyer building, Rea 
building and a number of private residences, al 
Eitzen's building, California, Mo. 

Mr. Simonsen is a Republican, but not active

UR. G. B. WINSTON. 

Dr. George Bickerton Winston was born in Gree 
county, Kentucky, June D, 18:22, and came to Mi 
souri with his father who settled in Cole county i 
1833. Here his life was mainly spent and his cha 
acter formed. He graduated from McDowell 
Medical College in St. Louis with the class of 184 
The same year he volunteered for the war wit 
Mexico, and was elected Second Lieutenant of Cor 
j)any F. On his return from California, after a fe 
years, his earnest, active life as physician coi 
menced. He married Miss Sarah F. Hough, of Je 
tersiin ("it\, in 1853, and at this time has three soi 
living: Dr. Warwick ^^■in.ston is in Shanghi 
China, practicing his profession, (dentistry); Georj 
Bickerton Winston is in Anaconda, Montana, e 
gaged in the practice of law, and Chas. A. Winsto 
Esq., of this city, residing with his mother. Mi 
Sarah F. Winston. Dr. Winston, in many respec 
was a remarkable man. Without being conscious 
it he was a born leader of men, and the end and ai 
of his ambition was to become useful and emine 
in the profession of his choice, and his reputati' 
was much more than local. The St. Louis ("ouri 
of Medicine says of him just after his death, Ju 
22, 1882: "So far as we have been able to asceita 
Dr. Winston (of Jefferson City, Mo. I was the fli 
to call attention to the value of gallinacrous peps 
in the treatment of atonic dyspe{i.sia. Though t 
idea has been extensively used of late, and wi 
excellent results under the name of "ingluvin," 
think due credit has not been given Dr. Winst 
for calling the attention of the profession to 
which he (lid in a jiaper read before the State Me 
cal Association a number of years ago." 

A more thoioughly conscientious jihysician nei 
lived. To the end of his long professional life he w 
a hard student. The writer, who knew him ir 
mately, once ventured to remark to him: "Doct 
what necessity is there for this ceaseless labor a 
study at your time of life?" with a look of astoni 
meiit nevei- to be forgott^en, he leplied: "My dear f 
I am under bonds to do it. When I offered my p 
fessional seivi<es to this community there was 
implied covenant on my part, so far as God ga 
me strength and ability, I would use them :

I will witlidraw from the practice and step from

my best endeavors to meet honestly and conscien- 
tiously, still sometimes is almost heavier than I can 
bear." \\ith him a principle was right or wrong, 
a policy good or bad. There was no half way rest- 
ing place for him. lie had little respect for com- 
promises, and only pity for that feebleness of char- 
acter which yielded up to its convictions rather than 
contend for them. 

While sometimes to strangers lie may have ap- 
peared a little austere, his friends knew him to be 
as gentle and sympathetic as a woman, and left to 
his own choice, he was more at home in a company 
of little children than on the nnirch as soldier and 
pioneer from the Missouri to the Kio Grande, or 
from the borders of the State to the gold fields of 
California. 

He remembered his services in the field and his 
experience in mining camps as periods in his life 
bringing ample opjiortunities for the study of men 
away from the restraints of civilization and the in- 
fluences of home and family, and regarded these 
divergencies as. time profitably spent. Face to face 
with danger and trying emergency he was as cool 
aud deliberate a man as lived. To illustrate: He 
was one of the unfortunate excursionists from St. 
Louis, in November, 1855, on the railway train that 
went d()wn with the Gasconade bridge. It was a 
fearful hour. A terrible storm was raging; black 
clouds had so obscured the sun that familar faces 
could scarely be recognized except by the flashes of 
lightning, which were blinding in their brightness; 
the thunder pealed as though the artillery of giants 
was in deadly confiict in the clouds. The i)ale faces 
of the dead and groans of the wounded and dying, 
were seen and heard on every side. ]>r. Winston, 
was himself severely wounded and suffering in- 
tensely from pain, faintness and loss of blood. He 
was at last discovered, sewing up and dressing his 
own wound, and when Dr. McDowell, his old surgi- 
cal instructor and friend, said: "Winston, let me 
attend to you," he replied: "Xo, T>octor; go where 
you may save a life, I do not think my wound is 
fatal," Unfortunately there are few such charac- 
ters. He was a man among men.

Pattie, a Kentuekv pioneer who came to ^lissouri 
in 1S12 and who, durin-i the war of 1812. served in 
the American army as lieutenant of the Ranjiers. 

Mr. Mosby attended a country district school 
until thirteen years of aj^c when he bef-an working 
at the i)rinter's trade. At the age of seventeen he 




went to the State of California to follow that trade, 
but had worked there but a few months when 
family affairs called him home. In 1892 he was 
associated with his brotlu'r Bayard as editor and 
publisher of the I'nterriticd Democrat, at Linn, Mo., 
and during that great "free trade" campaign the 
tariff (jiiestion was discussed in his editorials with 
a degree of clearness that showed the writer to be 
perfect master of his subject. He wields a facile 
pen, and many of his essays are well known, a few 
of which may be briefly menlioui'd here. 

In IS'.m; his first essay on "Church Taxation" was 
published in the Xorth American Review. The 
bold stand taken in defense of the churches, and the 
great scliolai'ship and invincible logic which the 
author arrayed in d«'fense of his position, caused the 
article to be discussed, especially in religious cir- 
cles, througlmnt the rnited States. It was pub 



licly assailed in New V<irk by tiii^ Ri-v. Madison ( 
Pi'tcis. while the New York <'atholic News defende 
the aitiile in a fwo-c<ilumn edil(uial. It was tran 
lated inlo (ieiiiian and published in the .Vmeril 
and (ilher (Jernian pai)ers in the ^^■est, while in Bo 
ton the article was catalogued by one of the publ 
libi'arie.s and given a place among the archives ( 
the institution on the subject of taxation. 

In the same year his essay on "The FellowSe 
vant Mod line" appeared in the American Law R 
view. This article, in which the laws on the su 
ject. both of the several States and of the leadir 
Enro]iean iiati(Jiis were reviewed, attacked the f( 
low-serxani doitrine as being unjust and unreaso 
able. Among the journals making favorable edite 
ial commeni n]ion this article may he inention(

Conceiving the article to be a strong argument

Bureau issued a special report containing it, ar 
printed fifty thousand copies of the same, many > 
which were circulated in Missouri, contributii 
greatlv. no doubt, to the popular movement whi( 
culmiiiiited in the enactment of the FellowServai 
act of IsilT. 

In 18!(8 he was a frequent conlrilMiloi' to tl

"Plutocracy and Poverty," being extensively copi( 
by the country ])ress in Illinois and Missouri. ] 
this year also a])i)eared hi.s "Dangers of Politic

His articles on "Some Defects in the Missou

Although dejirived of the opp(U-tunity of secu

a daugiiter. Frances Elaine, now nearly four years 
of age. and a son, Donald Wpeed, now 1(1 months 
of age. 

TMiile ^Ir. ^losby has always been a Democrat. 
he wiites his political creed with but a single word 
— "Justice;" and in thesei'viceof this [uinciple from 
which all good doctrines flow, his voice and pen 
have ever been enlisted. He made a number of 
speeches for the Democratic nominee during the 
special Congressional cainjjaign in Rland's old dis- 
trict in 18!)9. and has always done good work for 
the jirinciples in which he so sincerely believes. 



MICHAEL SCHUBERT. 

In the commercial world there is now developing 
in all the jirincipal cities large department stores, 
the result of the enterprise and the executive abili- 
ty of some one individual. We find these giant 
cf.niineicial establishments now' in all of the large 
cities. In riiiladelphia, for instance, John Wanna- 
nniker is the head of the list. In Chicago, Marshall 
Field; in St. Louis, Barr, Crawford and others; but 
<:ne would hardly exi)ect to find an establishment 
entitled to class proportionately with these great 
concerns in a village in Cole county, yet such is 
the case. The well appointed and managed general 
store of the Schubert-Weiler Mercantile Company at 
Kussellville is the largest and best appointed de- 
partment store in the county. Their ground floor 
sjiace (every foot of which is utilized to accommo- 
date their large and varied stock of merchandise, 
which includes everything needed by a human be- 
ing, from the cradle to the grave) is 54 by 128 feet; 
in addition, the u])iier rooms are used for dujilicate 
stock, fninituie. hardware, etc. The head and I'lcs- 
iili-nr (if this conijianv is Michael Schubert, who was 
born on a farm in Cole county, near Taos. Se])teni- 
ber 2.").1S(j!). where he was reared, attending the jiub- 
lic and a jirivate German school in the nearby vil- 
lage. At the age of 24 he associated in the mercan- 
tile business with F. Steffens, at Decatur, continu- 
ing four years, when they dissolved partnership and 
he removed to Barnett. in ^lorgan county, where he 
purchased a stock of goods and continued a most 
successful business the following six years. From 
there he removed to Kussellville in lS!t5. where he 
was one of the organizers of the Kussellville Ex- 
ih.ange Bank, of which he w'as cashier for two vears. 



(liwing which lime, however, he was also engaged in 
the furniture and hardware business, which assumed 
such jiropoitions that he resigned his ]iosition in 
the bank in order to give this his whole attention.' 
In 1S!)7. in order to acconunodate the stock for his 
largely increasing business, he extended his store 
building back 128 feet. In the fall of 18118, Mr. 
WCiler (wild is at jireseut associated with him in 
husinessi leiited one of his store rooms and engaged 
in the general dry goods business. The association 
and observalion resulting from their close business 
relations develo]ied a mutual respect and confidence, 
which resulted in their uniting their mercantile in- 




terests anil incorj)orating under the present firm 
name of the Schubert-Weiler Mercantile Company. 
As a result of their united interests their trade is 
greatly extended, many buyers coming a distance 
of fifteen or twenty miles, being drawn by their low 
prices, large and varied stock from which to make 
selections. :Mr. Schubert was married September 29, 
1889. to Miss Mary, daughter of ihutin and Kath- 
erine Schneider, of Taos. This companion, who is 
the mother of his daughter. Frieda, now 8 years of 
age, he had the misfortum' to lose by death in De- 
cember. 189:!. His present wife was Miss Emma 
Kautsch. of Loliman. to whom he was married May 
11. 1897, and is the mother of his boy, Aimer, now 2 
years of age. Mr. Schuliert is a member of the M. W. 
A. and of the Lutheran church. He occupies his own 
comfortable home in the village of Kussellville and 
also owns the building occupied by the mercan- 
tile company, of which he is President. Although he 
has had large and varied experience and been emi- 
nently successful he still is in the prime of life, with 
e\ery prosjiect of being able to fully gratify his am- 
bition as a successful merchant and business man.

propiietors of the Kusscllville Kollei- Mills, was born 
on a farm near I'rairie Home in Cooper county, June 
21, 18G4, where he continued nntil twenty-one years 
of age. His education being in the neighboring dis- 
trict schools. He engaged in farming on his own 
account, renting a farm near his birthplace, where 
he continued for four years, running also a thresh- 
ing machine and saw mill. Kemoving to Moniteau 
county he jiurchased a farm, which he continued in 
connection with his saw mill and threshing machine 
four years, when he sold his interests and removed 
to Boone county, associating with C. A. Edwaids in 
liuihlinj; a mill a( lluulsd.-ilc, which was (■(uulucted 




with marked financial success four years, when he 
disposed of his interests to his jiartner. About this 
time the enterprising village of Russellville, in its 
efforts to secure the advantages of a mill (one of 
the most important elements in aiding the material 
l)rogress of any towni. offeicd him a bonus of about

good roller mill; a ]ir(>posilion which he acce])ted.

The wheat grown in that district being of an exceji- 
tionally good (luality. Mr. Kitchie. with his excellent 
mill, converted it into flour of such excellence, its 
popularity resulted in a demand requiring an in- 
creased cai]acity for ]iro(liiction : as a result, he 
formed a jiartnership with !Mr. W. A. Stark, and 
doubled the cajiacity of the mill. The Kussellville

J. H. GREEX. 

Josepli Henry Green was born at Troy, Lincoln 
county. Mo., April 2, 184:2. His parents had 



I'ecently moved from Faucjueir county, Va., coming 
by land in the old Virginia wagons, with a large 
colony. His ancestors on his father's side were Eng- 
lish and Scotch and on his mother's, Welsh and 
German. His first schooling was in a log school 
house in Troy, I'rof. G, 0. Broadhead, now of Colum- 
bia, being his first teacher. Mr. Green came of old 
Revolutionary stock, his grandfather, George Green, 
who was born in IToti and died in 1853, was with 
Gen. Benedict Arnold in his memorable winter cam- 
I)aign north toward the Canadian border. He after- 
ward held the rank of Major under General Morgan 
and received a severe saber cut in the 
bead, at the battle of "The Cow- 
J'ens." He was a great friend and 
admirer of Gen. Washington, whom he 
followed to the grave — their planta- 
tions being about twenty-five miles 
ajjart. He was distantly related to 
Gen. Nathaniel Green, both coming 
from the same Shire in England. His 
mother was iSIiss Jane Martin of Cul- 
lie]i])er county, Va. His grandfather, 
llezekiah Martin, was also a Revolu- 
tionary soldier, serving in "Light 
Horse Harry" Lee's Legion of Virginia 
Ca\alry. At the breaking out of the 
Civil War, the subject of this sketch 
was teaching school in West Prairie, 
-^1 ^-''"•■"lii county, one of his pupils be- 
" ing Elisha Robinson, who was later 

Circuit Judge in Northeast Missouri 
and is now a prominent railroad attorney in Kan- 
sas City. On a Friday afternoon (ISCl), he dis- 
missed his school expecting to open the following 
jMonday as usual. Borrowing a horse he rode to 
Troy ; on his arrival found Gov. Jackson's proclama- 
tion calling for troops. He was already enrolled as 
a member of Capt. Eppie Sydnor's Co. He sent his 
horse back to its owner, and with about TOO others, 
under Capt. Broda Hull, Capt. George Carter and 
Cajit. John Q. Burbrid'ge, of Pike Co., started for 
Jefferson City. After two days' march they reached 
the home of Gen. Jeff Jones in Callaway county, 
where, hearing of their approach, the whole neigh- 
borhood had gathered and prepared a feast of boiled 
ham, chicken, old fashioned Missouri corn light bread 
and good coffee. After reaching the I\Iissonri River 
they were unable to cross, as Gen. Lyon had just 
fought the battle of Boonville and had the Missouri 
River guarded. The command, then under Gen. Tom 
Harris and Col. Burbridge, broke up into squads. 
Young Green with his stejibrother, James Cartel', 
worked their way south, and on Sept. 3, 18C1, joined

New Madrid, Mo. The intrepid John S. Bowen was 
Colonel, and was aftcrwiird Major-General. During 
the long and tragiu contliet following, Mr. Green 
was in a number of the great battles between the 
North and South. He was wounded at the battle of 
Champion Hill and his stej) brother, James Carter, 
was jciilcd at the same time. He was discharged on 




account of disaliility, coming across the river where 
he was commissioned Colonel by Gen. Price and sent 
to Missouri to recruit. He was cajjtured, and with 
Col. Burbridge, Gen. Jeff. Thomson and others, taken 
to Gratiot Street Prison, then to Johnson Island and 
exchanged. After the surrender at the close of the 
war he went to Old Mexico. Returning, he stopped 
at Rolla for a time with his brother, James A. Green, 
now of Cuba. Coming to Jefferson City in 1867, he 
engaged in the fire insurance business, as general 
agent for the Farmei's' and Merchants' Hisurance 
Co. After two years he became one of the promoters 
of the Life Association of America, in which he did 
a large business, organizing special boards in dif- 
ferent parts of the State, and engaged in the general 
real estate business at Sedalia, in which he con- 
tinued some 20 years, 10 years of the time he was 
general land agent of the M., K. & T. Railroad, a 
connection which resulted in his handling large 
bodies of land in the states of Kansas and Texas. 



He removed fi'om Sedalia to Jefferson City in 1899, 
from which jioint he still looks after the sale of 
lands in all parts of the country. He was united in 
marriage. May (J, ls(;s, to iliss Eliza, daughter of 
James B. McHenry, of Jefferson City, who was the 
mother of his interesting children, the eldest of

St. Joseph, Mo.; Mabel is a young lady at home; 
Percy is a civil engineer in the employ of the I'nited 
States Government, at present located at Louisville, 
Ky. He had the misfortune to lose by death his 
congenial and devoted wife. He was united in mar- 
liage to Miss Emma McHenry (a lady of culture 
and charming personality), a sister of his former 
wife, January 14, 1890. Mr. Green is a member of 
the Presbyterian church, also of the Maccabees, and 
was Door-Keeper of the House — 28tli General As- 
sembly (1875). He has been one of the most active 
real estate men in the State, his operations in lands 
having been very extensive. He has removed to Jef- 
ferson City and located permanently, making his 
home at No. 21.5 Stewart street, the old home of his 
father-in-law, the late J. B. McHenry.

artist and photographer of Jefferson City, was born 
on a farm in Callaway county, six miles northeast of 
Jefferson City, April 14, 1858. Here he was raised 
and educated in the nearby schools. At sixteen he 
a]s])renticed himself to a photographer at Shelby- 
ville. 111. Soon after he came to Jefferson City, and, 
after a few months with Mr. Suden, he traveled with 
a portable gallery. He spent one year at Sweet 
Springs, and later made his headquarters at Butler, 
Bates county. From here he removed to Sedalia,. 
where he remained with the famous artist, Latour, 
three years, when he removed to Kansas City and 
engaged in the work of enlarging portraits and sell- 
ing the material incident to that business. In this 
work he traveled over a large portion of Kansas 
and Nebraska, later locating at Fulton, Mo., where 
he remained seven years, engaging in the work of 
his art. While at Fulton he made the many fine 
views for the State, which they used in their ex- 
hibit at the World's Fair at Chicago. In 1894 he 
removed his headquarters to Jett'erson City, where 
he has continued and makes frequent extended tours- 
through the country, taking views of landscapes, 
etc. He was married in Kansas City, 1884, to Miss: 
Carrie Hardin, who is the mother of his six children, 
all of whom are at home. His widowed mother also 
makes her home with him, and, in addition to his 
other duties, he looks after her farm, which is across

sarily biief as he has just seen fourteen years. 
When nine years old he came to Jeffrson City to

a pupil since. He was ai)i)ointed a Page for the 




39th General Assembly, and served in that capacity 
with much honor to himself, being highly compli- 
mented by many of the most prominent members 
of that body. In IS!)!) the Speaker of the 4(lth Gen- 
eral Assembly, W. J. Ward, honored him with a 
place at his side as private Page. The duties not 
being in the least irksome, he had ample time and 
opportunity to observe and listen to the representa- 
tives of the different counties of Missouri, and 
learned much about his native State. He boasts of 
being descended from many of Missouri's most 
prominent men of the past, and is a nephew of the

G. W. HOl'GH. 

George W. Hough, was born in Loudon County, 
X'irginia, Ajiril 17, ISdS, and was married to Miss 
Mary C. Shawen, at Waterford, Virginia, March 
24, 1833. His earlier ancestor was John Hough, 
who removed from Bin-ks County, Pennsylvania, to 
Loudon County, \'a.. about the year 1750, and there 
married Sarah Janney. whose family had also moved 
Ironi liucks County. IN'unsylvania, and who was 
great auni to John .lanney. President of the A'ir- 
ginia Secession Conxcntion of ISfil. John Hough 
was a grandson of Richard Hough who came from 
Cheshire, England, to I'ennsylvania under the au- 
sjtices of William Penn, in the shiji "Endeavor,"' 
landing in Philadelphia in 1(j38. 

In 1837 Mr. Hough moved to St. Louis County, 
Missouri, bringing with him a stock of goods, which 
he disposed of in St. Louis. In 1838 he moved to 
Jefferson City, where he was engaged in merchan- 
dising until the year 1854, when he retired from 
business pursuits. 

For forty years, Mv. Hough was a man of 
marked prominence and influence not only in this 
locality, but. throughout the State. It is no idle 
compliment to say that during the decade preced- 
ing the war his was considered the leading mind 
in his i)arty, and that he did more to shape the 
policy and defend the principles of the Democratic 
side than any other member of the organization. 

He was fond of political excitement and dis- 
cussions, but in no sense a seeker of off'ice. His 
acknowledged abilities, rather than a desire for 
notoriety, forced him jirominently before the public 
on occasions when he would, if his own wishes had 
been consulted, have remained in the background. 

In 1842-3 he represented Cole County in the 
General Assemlily with marked ability. In 1844 
he took an active part in the organization of "The 
Missouri Historical and l'hilosoi)hical Society," 
which was afterwards incorporated by an act of the 
General Assembly of ]\lissouri, apjiroved ?^ebruary 
27, 1845. 

He was one of the charter members of the soci- 
ety and its Treasurer for a number of years. This 
s-ociety included in its list of members many of the 
most prominent men of the State. In 1854 he 
^\as the candidate of the Democratic party for 
Congress and engaged actively in the political con- 
troversies of the dav, which were then of a very

great contest of ISCl to ISfio. 

In conjiHution with Judge William B. Napton 
and Judge A\'illiani Scott, then on the Supreme 
bench of Missouri, and Judge Carby Wells of Ma- 
rion county, Mr. Hough participated in fraiuiug the 
famous "Jackson Kesolutions" introduced by Clai- 
bourne P. Jackson, afterwards (lovernor, in the 
Missouri Legislature in 1849, which resolutions oc- 
casioned the celebrated ajipeal of ('ol. Thomas H. 
Benton from the instructions of the Legislature to 
the people of Missouri. Those resolutions looked 
forward to a conflict lietween the Northern and 
Southern States, and pledged Missouri to a co-oper- 
ation with her sister States of the South. The 
leading Democrats of Missouri were then known as 
Calhoun Democrats, chief among them being David 
R. Atchison, William B. Napton, James S. Green, 
Carby Wells. Claibourne F. .lackson and (leorge ^^'. 
Hough, and the bitter personal hostility existing be- 
tween Calhoun and Benton was much intensified by 
these resolutions, the authorship of which ("ol. Ben- 
ton attributed to (/alhoun. The result of the canvass 
was Col. Benton's retirement from the United 
States Senate. 

Soon after making his unsuccessful canvass for 
Congress in 1854 Mr. Hough waS appointed by Gov. 
Sterling Price a member of the Board of I'ublic 
Works of Missouri, of which board he was Presi- 
dent, which was then cliarged with the supervision 
of all the railroads in the State to which State aid 
had been granted. At the general election in 18li0 
he was elected to the same office; while a member 
of this Board he devoted his entire time to the pub- 
lic interests in this connection and rendered valu- 
able service in conserving the interests of the State 
in these various railroad enterprises. It was ad- 
mitted, at the time, that he would have succeeded 
Gov. Jackson as Governor of Missouri, but for the 
breaking out of the Civil War. Mr. Hougli was 
stronger in the convention of 1860 than was Gov. 
Jackson and could have liad the nomination if he 
had contended for it, but lie yielded to the friends 
of the nominee, upon the assurances that he should 
have no opposition for tlie next term. During the 
campaign of lS(i() he made a thorough canvass of 
the State with Governor Jackson, and liis discus- 
sions of State and National affairs, in that canvass, 
were considered, by all who heard them, the ablest 
ever delivered on that side by any man in the 
State. His reports on railroad matters attracted 
general attention and elicited the highest compli- 
ments for the fairness and ability with which he 
presented the facts. 



He was fre(iuenll\' lendei-cd jiosilious in the 
Government service, among them Second Auditor 
of the Treasury, which would hav(> necessitated his 
removal to the National <"a[)ital, but declined to 
accept such appointment. He was for a time Cura- 
tor of the ^lissouri T^niversity, and in conjunction 
with Dr. Elliot of St. Louis, he did much to benefit 
that institution. He contributed largely to the 
formation of tlie legislation essential to the devel- 
ojunent of the resources of the State. He had a 
knowledge of the political history of the country 
linsurpased by that of any one in the State, and a 
superior knowledge also of general history, consti- 
tutional law, literature and the science of govern- 
ment. Mr. Hough died February IJi, 1878. 

He has six children living: Mrs. Dr. George B. 
^^'inston, Judge ^Varwick Hough, Mrs. John P. 
Iveiser, Dr. Charles P. Hough, Arthur M. Hough 
and Miss Georgia B. Hougli.

:o, where his father, Geo. C. Parker, was en- 
aged in manufacturing shoes for the great

871, after Mrs. G"Leary"s famous cow kicked over 
he lamp. Soon after the great conflagration the

ketch going to Worcester to attend college. While 
n Worcester he was an active member of the Mas- 
achusetts Natural History Association, having 
harge of an important work in ornithology. Later 
ntering Baltimore College, he graduated in the 
lass of 187!), his education having been acquired 
j'ith the view of practicing law; removing to Kansas, 
lear Salina, he was the following five years engaged 
onsecutively in the practice of law, in teaching, 
arming, sheep and cattle raising. In 1804 he re- 
noved to St. Paul, Minn., where he was employed 
IS foreman in the shoe factory of Kellog & Johnson 
)f that city. One year later, going to Chicago, he 
is'sociated with C. M. Henderson & Co., in organiz- 
ng the Jefferson Shoe Company for the purpose of 
[lanufacturing shoes in Jefferson City, and was made

Mr. Parker, notwithstanding his large experience 
and eventful history, is still in. the prime of life. 
His ojtportunities for learning the shoe business, 
coupled with his natural talent for making them, 
(having now in his possession one he made complete 
when nine years of age) he has used to good purpose, 
as the factory of which he is President is running 
full time, giving employment to 23(1 people, and is

(ompany manufactures exclusively workingmen's. 
slices of various kinds of leather, but all substantial.

By his personal correspondence and through his 
paper he secured the active opposition of the Ger-

homes of the thrifty German families of Jefferson 
City and Cole county for nearly a quarter of a cen-

The most important factor affecting the niateri 
interests and progress of a communit.v is the loc 
press. The recital, in its columns, of the wortl 
acts of men and women stimulates others to ent( 
prise and deeds of philanthropy, while its condei 
nation of vice curbs the baser passions and restrai 
the violation of law. As an educator it is a loc 
school of history, biography and literature, and 
well and ably conducted ranks in importance wi 
the school. It pictures the condition of the unf( 
tunate and places the scene before the more favori 
who carry relief. Through its influence, commui

A. rRlESMEYER. 

August I'riesmeyer, President and founder of 
the A. Priesmeyer Shoe Company, was born on a 
farm near Westithalia. Prussia. December 17. 18:$2. 
At the age of 17 he imiuigiated to America, stop 
jiing first near Cincinnati. Oliin. where he worked 
on a farm several months, when he went to Cincin- 
nati, learning the trade of shoemaking. After an 
apprenticeshij) of two years he removed to St. 
Louis, where he engaged in a shoe store. His a](t- 
ness and close attention to business soon resulted 
in his having charge and management of the entire 
.slio]> and store. In 1S.'57 he made a triji to Europe, 
■\ isiting his parents and many places of interest, re- 
turning in the F'all; he renewed his engagement at 
th(^ same i)lace. continuing until the Sju'ing of lS.5!t. 
when he opened a retail store on his own account. 
AN'ith this he did a prosperous business until 1867, 
Avlien he disposed of his stock and engaged largely 
in the hide and tobacco business, which resulted in 
the loss of the accumulation of his thrift and good 
management of the past years. In 1869 he again 
■opened a shoe store on his own account, receiving 
financial assistance from a friend, who later be- 
<-ame associated with him, and whose loyalty as- 
sisted him greatly in bringing about the success 
which attended his later efforts in the manufacture 
of shoes. In 187J: he disposed of this business and 
removed to Jefferson City, where he engaged in the 
manufacture of shoes in pai-tnership with the 
friend who hail assisted him in the past, Mr. F. 
\Voesten, now a retired capitalist and most worthy 
titizen of St. Louis. This friend continued to fur- 



nish till- cajiital, the firm being A. Priesmeyer & 
Co. In the work of manufarturing at the prison 
he still associated with his old friend and flu- i)ai"t- 
nership continued until ]S7I(. when he bought the 
interest of his jiartner and continued tin- business 
in the name of A. Priesmeyer-, until the Fall of 1809, 
when the A. Priesmeyer Shoe Co. was organized 
and in(-orporated. with Mr. A. Priesmeyer as Presi- 
dent: John Tweedie, sr.. McePresident and Super- 
intendent of the factoiy. and H. F. Priesmeyer, Sec- 
retary, Treasurer and Manager of the business. 
Poth Mr. Tweedie and Mr. H. F. Priesmeyer 
had long been faithful lieutenants in this 
growing and prosperous manufacturing plant, 
and on ac(-ounf of their faithful and iiit<-lli- 




genl services had been giv(-n a share of the profits 
for more than 15 years, although their names had 
not up to the time of the incorporation been asso- 
ciated with the business. ^Vhen Mr. Priesmeyer 
first established this plant he only employed thirty- 
five men, but under able and successful manage- 
ment, pains-taking and straightforward methods 
of doing business and jn-oducing the very best value 
possible the business was built up to its present 
proportions, now employing over 250 workmen, 
with eighteen traveling salesmen, who cover and 
enjoy a large trade throughout the entire West and 
South; in fact, covering virtually all the I'nited 
States except those of New England and a few of 



342 



Cole County Illustrated Sketch Book and 



the North Atlantic States which are more coutij^n- 
ous to the manufacturing plants of Massachusetts. 
In Aufiust. ISfiO, Mr. Priesmover was married to 
("aroline Steiiibruegge, of St. Chai'les, Mo. To this 
union were born three sons, two of whom died in 
infancy, Eddie at the interesting age of six. He 
had the misfortune to lose by death his com- 
panion May 20, 188'.). In April, 1891, he was united 
in marriage to !Miss Minnie Meyer, of St. Louis, and 
was called upon to perform the sad duties atk^nd- 
ant upon her death in 1895. In 1899 he was united 
in marriage to ^Mis. Emma Witte, of St. Louis, who 
is now his genial and devoted comjianion in his 
home, No. 15.37 S. Grand Ave., St. Louis, he having 
retired from the active duties connected with his 
business and removed to that city in 1891. Mr. 
Priesmeyer is a fine example of the success which 
attends the earnest, active and well directed efforts 
of an honorable man. He came to this country 
when but a youth, without means, liis first work 
being on the farm. After learning the business of 
.shoemaking before the extensive improvements in 
machinery had brought that business up to its 
present high state of perfection, so greatly reducing 
the cost and assisting in the production of artistic 
and substantial foot-wear, he lias moved steadily 
along with the business of his choice until he now 
occupies a place in the business world as a nuinu 
facturer of which he may be justly proud. No man 
engaged in the manufacture of shoes in the United 
States stands higher than A. Priesmeyer, who is 
now enjoying in retirement the justly earned fruits 
of his long and constant labors. In addition to two 
trips to Europe, in 1897, Mr. Priesmeyer made a trip 
around the world, which occupied fourteen months, 
visiting Japan, China, the Orient, India. Africa, 
I'alestine and Syria, and making trips in the va- 
rious countries, using the means of travel peculiar 
to each country, seeing life in its every phase in all 
parts of the world, and being a close and practical 
observer, he is an interesting and instructive talker. 
Although having lived nearly liis three score years 
and ten, he is as hale and hearty as most men of 30; 
in fact, he yet seems in the prime of life, with a 
prospect of many years. 



JOHN TWEEDIE, SR. 
John Tweedie, sr., Vice-President of the A. Pries- 
meyer Shoe Co., and Superintendent of the factory, 
was born in Mott'at, Dumfries Shire. Scotland. Sep- 
tember 28, 1838. He attended school until 10 years 
of age, when he engaged in learning the trade of 
shoemaking in his father's shop, continuing his 
studies at night. In 18.50 he immigrated to America, 



stopping first in New York, where he worked at his 
trade a few months, when he removed to I'rovidence, 
R. I., and engaged in the work of a carpenter the 
following three years, after which he removed to 
Mystic, Conn., where, after working in the ship yard 
a few months, he returned to New York and resumed 
his trade of shoemaking. Removing to Middletown, 
Conn., in 1801, he responded to a call for volunteers, 
enlisting in the 2nd Connecticut, which was dis 
charged from service a few months later, when, in 
answer to a second call he enlisted in the 9th Rhode 




Island, and later in the 1.5th regular U. S. Infantry 
He continued with this regiment, and during tht 
early part of 1804 was ai)pointed Drill Sergeant a 
Fort Adams; afterward being promoted to Firs 
Sergeant. In 1805. when the army was reorganized 
he was transferred to the 33rd, retaining the samt 
rank. Mr. Tweedie was in the first battle of Bui

He remained until a few months before his death, 
when he went with his mother to New Mexico for his 
health. As we sit listening to the edioes of the past, 
the variations of liis inarvelous whistling come as 




strains of celestial music from the vast unknown. 
''His was a peculiarlv magnetic natuie that drew all 
who knew him to his side; he counted his friends

social and political life, true uf him not only in Jef-

but a few months at the time of his death (March

(rovernor Lon V. Stephens wrote of him: "Wal- 
ter Y. Mayo, who, for over four years, held a position 
under me in the Treasury Department, has passed 
over the river. Death has taken from us the young- 
est member of our force within but a few months 
of his legal majority, full of lioin- and rich in 
promise; his sun had just risen, and it gave promise 
that before him was a bright day. The position of 
stenographer, which he held, brought him into close 
and confidential relation with me. I found him at 
all times trustworthy, respectful, submissive, anx- 
ious to please, sensative to criticism. By his model 
life and devotion to duty he won the respect of my- 
self and his associates. He bore in his manner the 
cherriest good will to all, with malice to none. He 
was a manly Christian boy. who loved his church, 
his league and his Sunday School, Bereft of father 
when but a few weeks old, he has fought life's bat- 
tles for his mother, sisters and self under many dis- 
advantages, winning the praise and admiration from 
those who witnessed his struggles and who appre- 



ciated his suri'ciundings. His beauliful love for his 
mother was at all times noticeable. His chiefest 
aim was to make her happy. In her presence and 
al her knee he found the truest altiir, and for his 
sisters, Virginia and Jessie, the companions of his 
boyhood, there was a love tender and beautiful. He 
a])pealed to them in every instance, in every 
emergency. Their wishes were his, their happiness 
liis. He would die before he would bring to them 
sorrow or disappointment. His money was always 
used to their ciMufort and enjoyment. Although 
full of courage, he leaned upon his mother and 
seemed to be as a dependent, heli)less child in her 
arms, and she in turn was deiiendent upon and 
trusted him, looking forward to the day when her 
son would be a strong man who would comfort and 
support her in her declining years. (Jod is too wise 
to err and too good to be unkind, otherwise we 
would feel that in this instance he had struck a 
cruel l)low. ^^'alter"s tender heart is hushed forever, 
lie has laid d<iwn his office work never to again re- 
sume. Eternal joy to his immortal spirit." 

His remains are at rest in the cool bosom of 
mother earth in Woodland Cemetery, in the east- 
ern part of Jefferson City.

wliicli jiosition he continned until December, 187l', 
when he resigned to take the ]iosition of editor of 
the Jefferson City Tribune, which was jniblished at 
that time by Reagan & Carter. He retired from

Mr. Miller was married December '22, IS-tl, to 
Miss Maria Louise ^Vinston, daughter of Nicholas 
J. Winston, who survives him. To this union were 
born seven children, four boys and three girls, three 
of whom, George B. Miller, Louise, now Mrs. Bragg, 
and Dr. Phil. T. ^lillei'. a iiromincnt dentist of Jef-

uary, 1873, which met at Baltimore, Md.. and has 
held many offices of trust and honor during his 
active and useful life. He was a friend and cham- 
pion of every measure looking to the advancement 
of Jefferson City and his Democracy was a j)art of 
his religion. His life was a nu)del from his early 
childhood, never having the disposition to sow wild 
oats. He lived and died a Christian gentleman, a 
man among men. His home life, which is ttie very 
best place in which to judge a man, was ideal. 

Of the many worthy characters now deceased 
who helped to make the history of Jefferson City 
none shine with more luster or credit as a worthj 
exemplary and model citizen in all the relations ol 
life than the subject of this sketch. While he was 
editor of the Tribune, his forceful writing did mucl 
to lead the Democracy of Missouri into a broad anc 
liberal jiolicy. and the result of his work and influ 
ence at that time is still ftdt and doing its work.

In most cities there are men, whose peculiar 
qualifications as sagacious buyers and sellers, 
coupled with an ambition to do a large tr.-ide, en- 
ables them to rajiidly develoii an immense business, 




counters the economical and thrifty buyers from 
all the ]»atlis of life. Of this class of men in the 
State of Missouri none stand higher than ^Ir. J. W. 
Heskett, tile projirietor of the New York Racket 
Cash Department store. No. '2:V2 East High street. 
'Mv. Heskett was born on a farm iu Koss county, 
Ohio, near Chillicothe, ^lay 0, ISo!), At the age of

on a farm in Saline county, near Malta Rend, where

solved with Mr. Wilson, who continued the business, 
while he removed, with his part of the stock, to 
Marshall, doing a successful business until 1888, 
when he purchased a farm eight miles northwest

stock and imidements, rented his farm, when, at the 
request of the I'ostotfice Department and several of 
the bondsmen (he being one) took charge of the post- 
ottice at Marshall, which office he managed from 
March 1, until July 1, 181(7, when he removed to 
this city ojiening the New York Racket store on 
^lain street. This business, under his judicious

GOVERNMENT LOCK AND DAM ON THE OSAGE RIVER. 



Under the charge of the Mississippi River Com- 
mission, a series of four locks and dams was contem- 
plated for the waters of the Osage, and approved 
by the Secretary of War. Mr. J. W. Beaman, then 
at Hermann, Mo., in charge of the Gasconade im- 
jirovements, under Maj. Allen of the Mississippi 
River Commission, was appointed to sound and 
make calculations of the flow of water in the river. 
In 189-1 Theodore Schoonmaker superceded Mr. Bea- 
men by the War Department, turning over to the 
Missouri River CommLssion the field of the Gas- 
conade and Osage rivers, and he further supple- 
mented this work by drillings and the erection of the 
Government lodge in 1895, and the letting to Messrs. 
McGee, Kahman & Co., the contract for the coffer 
dam, the excavation and pile driving, for foundation 
of the Lock, to be known as Lock and Dam No. 1, 



which was placed at a point just below Shipley 
Shoals and seven miles from the mouth of the river. 
They commenced work in the Fall of 1895, complet- 
ing the coffer dam, excavating and part of the pile 
driving. At this time, owing to a change of plans 
by the Chief Engineer calling for the lowering of 
the floor of the Dam fully Ave feet, the above parties 
threw up the contract, the Government purchasing 
the plant and its belongings from them in the Win- 
ter, 189.J. During the following Summer, 1896, the 
pile driving was finished under the direct charge of 
the Government, under the management of the 
Missouri River Commission, also the sand and gravel 
was dredged from the river and washed ready for 
the making of concrete for the Lock and Dam, the 
original i)lan being a masonry wall of lime stone. In 
1897 <'apt. F. r.. :Ma]il)y succeeded Mr. Schoon-

was necessarily stopjied. In the Spring of 18!t!) a 
contract was let to Pollard & ^Vallace of ("ham 
paign. III., to finish the Lock and build the Dam. 
They did what work they could, commencing in 
June, but as labor was scarce and good workmen 
hard to obtain, they only finished the Lock and 
seven sections of the ten of the Dam which can be 
easily noticed by looking at one of the views ac-

sections remain covering a space of ^yd feet. It is 
an interesting place to visit, and if the theory of the 
Government engineers is carried out by the coiujilete 
and successful working of this jiile of masonry, the 
enormous sum of money it has cost will be well in- 
vested, and when the time comes to build the other 
three locks of the original ])lan the obstacles over- 
come by the building of this one will be slight when 
profiting by the experience of this work. The Dam 
itself is peculiar, being movable and designed by

TAOS CATHOLIC CHURCH. 



St. Francis Xavier's Catholic church at Taos has 
m interesting history, it being the first church 
jrected by the ('atholics in Cole county. On May 
1, 1838, Rev. Father Helias (a Jesuit, born of the 
loble family of F. Huddeghem, in Ghent, Belgium, 
August 3, 1790) came to Westphalia, now in Osage 
ounty, but then a part of Gasconade, to preach the 
Gospel and administer the sacraments to the Catho- 
ics who were widely scattered through that part of 
dissouri. Within a few days aftt'r his arrival he 
Tossed the Osage River and said Mass in the house 
if a family near where the church, of which we are 
vriting, now stands. He continued his residence iu 
iVestphalia, from which point he visited the scat- 
ering members of his numerous charges four years, 
vhen, with the approval of his sui)eriors. he re- 
noved his residence to Taos, and transferred to this 
dace the books with the records of lia]itisiiis and 
narriages. From that time Taos was for a number 
)f years the center of all the missions in that jiart 
if the State, and from here this noble character 
isited, regularly, about 25 different jilaces named 
in the record, some of which are not now known. 
^ome of the locations have been washed away by 
he Missouri River. His circuit included St. Thomas, 



in Cole county; Portland, in Callaway county; 
Columbia, in Boone county; Moniteau (now Cedron), 
in Moniteau county; Boonville, Pisgah and Pilot 
Grove, in Cooper county; Franklin, in Howard 
county, and last, but by no means least, Jefferson 
City, where he worshipped first in the house of Gen. 
Anthony Kramer, near where now stands the Capi- 
tol. The nearby places were visited regularly, while 
more distant points only Twice a year, his circuit 
frequently involving a trip of more than 100 miles. 
When Father Helias was making one of his earlier 
visits to Taos from Westphalia, the congregation 
offered 40 acres of ground for building a church. 
School and home for the i)riest, but refused to hand 
the deed for the land to Father Helias, Mho then 
jiurchased 10 acres of land of Mr. H. Haar. The 
old home of Mr. Haar is still standing, and is the 
oldest part of the parsonage, now used as a kitchen. 
The first church, in honor of St Francis Xavier, was 
built of logs, on the ground now used as the pastor's 
garden. This house was afterward removed by 
Mr. Forck to the place where Ben Forck is now liv- 
ing, and is still standing 

Also a school was started with the church on the 
forty acres intended for the place of the church.

later. Of coui-se. the sehoul at tliat time was not 
fiequented regularly, and the instruction for jtrejiar- 
iug for the .saerameuts could be ouly very imperfect 
on account of long and frequent absence of the pas- 
tor. The liouse of Mr. Haar was rented to several 
parties, among them the Forck family, and 
in this historic building was horn Bernard and 
Herman Forck, now li\ing near the chnrcli. F'afh"r 




Helias built, with money furnished by his pious 
mother, a stone house which is now connected with 
the kitchen by a hall. The congregation soon out- 
grew the capacity of the first church, which was re- 
placed by a second one, built of cotton rock, which 
is at i)resent used as a school house and during the 
Winter months as a chapel. A cemetery was tirst 
laid out on the 40 acres, but since the church was 
iKit built lliere its use was discontinued, and a new 



one selected near the church, of about one acre 
AYhen this wa» full of the remains of the departed 
the old one was enlarged and enclosed, and is nov 
in use again, both cemeteries having been blessei 
by Bishop Kenrick of St. Louis. During 36 year 
Father Ilelias had stood faithfully at his post, whei 
the Lord called him from the scene of his pious an( 
devotioned labors. His death was sudden, althougl 
not unexpected, as lie told his friends that he es 
pected to die in such a manner. He had written th 
remembrances of his death on the back of smal 
jiictures and distributed among his friends, the dat 
to be tilled out after his death. His remains wer 
buried in the cemetery near the church, the coe 
gregation erecting a monument to liis memory 
After his death several priests visited at interval 
the Taos church until Rev. Father John Gruende 
v.as ajijiointed pastor. By his zealous and earnest el 
forts, new life was infused into the congregatior 
which made a number of improvements, a nei 
school liouse was built, whicli is now used as 
teacher's residence, and an addition was made to th 
parsonage. In 1881 a large number of the congregE 
tion withdrew and erected a church at Wardsvilh 
this being the youngest of the many parishes tha 
went out from the mother church, like so man 
grown daughters starting in families for themselve! 
nearly all of whom have (/utgrown the old hoim 
Xotwithstanding the withdrawal, the old church wa 
too small and with his usual courage and determine 
tion. Father Ciruender did not rest until he saw ris 
the ])resent magnificent brick building, whos 
steeple is crow-ned with a spire reaching 121 fee 
above ground. This church was finished in 1883. I 
1885 Father Gruender made a trij) to Europi 
his duties during his absence being performed b 
F"ather Schulte. He was followed by Kev. Fathe 
Joseph H. Schmidt, who is still in charge, he bein 
the third regularly appointed pastor, a record r( 
markable for a church of so long a history. Thi 
magnificent church building is furnished throughou 
with new and highly polished pews, and high alta 
pulpit, three large bells, an elegant pipe organ wit 
13 speaking stops and two manuals, and now, a

LINCOLN INSTITUTE. 



Lincoln Institute had its origin in a fund of 
^C,:')!!! contributed by tln^ (ii'nd and (J5tb regiments 
of the I'. S. Infantry, when dischaiged in January, 
IStJo. of which the (Il'nd gave .•$.■),()( Id. The only condi- 
tion of the gift was that a school be established in 
3Iissouri, open to the colored peojile. The idea of 
founding such a special school as Lincoln In.<titute 
at Jefferson City grew out of a conversation held at 
F(U't ^Iclnt<isli. Texas, between Lieutenant Adamson 
;uid Ke\'. K. 15. Foster, who subse(|uently became the 
first ])rin(i]ial of the school. The Hoard of Trustees, 
consisting of the following named genthMUent: Gov. 
Fletcher, Superintendent I'arker, Jlr. Yeatnuin, 



Judge Krekel. Attorney-( leneral W'ingate, State Prin- 
ter Foster, State Treasurer Bisbop, Rev. Whitaker,

colored men was held in Jelferson City, of which the 
Hon. J. Milton Turner and the Rev. Moses Dickson 
wei-e leading sjiirits. As a result of the gathering 
a bill was draftml to endow Lincoln Institute as a 
State Niu-mal Sch«(.)l for- the training of colored 
teachers. The bill was passed and approved by (tov. 
^IcClurg, and siwc<' that time the Institution has 
been supported by the State.

It was a. substantial brick building, 60 by 70 feet,

located upon a prominent hill, just outside the limits 
of Jefferson City, commanding a line view of the city. 
The grounds contain I'd acres. "The Legislatui'e of

Institute, provided |5,000 should be applied to the 
payment of its indebtedness. This appropriatioi

shall have no power to make any j;rant of iiublii' 
moneT or thinj;' of value to anv individual, associa- 
tion of individuals, nuini(ii)al or other corporation 
whatever.' The grant was in violation of that part 
of the Constitution just quoted."' Governor l'lieli)S, 
from whose message to the Legislature the above 
is taken, held the bill until the Board of Trustees 
met and unanimously voted to transfer the Insti- 
tute to the State. The bill was immediately ap- 
proved. This friendly act of the late Governor 
enabled the trustees to pay every dollar of the debt 
which for several years had embarrassed them and 
to place the Institute on a more permanent basis. 

Since the Institute became a State school, the 
Legislature has not only made large appropriations 
for its maintenance, but has also given money to 
erect dormitories, to purchase scientific apparatus, 
to make additions to the library and repair the main 
building. 

By an act of the Thirty-fourth General Assembly 
a college and a college preparatory school were 
established in connection with the Institute. 

The same Assembly also passed an act which 
provides that the normal diplomas shall entitle their 



holders to leach in the schools (if tin- State without 
further examination; also that the graded certifi- 
cates, which are granted upon the completion of the 
two years' course, shall entitle their holders to 
teach the several branches therein named for a 
period of two years from the date of graduation. 
Provision is made in the act for annulling these 
diplomas and certificates whenever it is found to be 
necessary. 

By an act of the Thirty-sixth General Assembly 
an Industrial Department was established in connec- 
tion with the Institute. 

The main building was destroyed by fire on the 
tirst of August, 1894, but was soon replaced by a far 
more commodious structure for the erection of which 
the Legislature appropriated the sum of |4t),()U0. 

The Presidents of the school have been the fol- 
lowing named gentlemen in their order: R. B. Fos- 
ter, W. H. Payne, S. T. Mitchell, M. Henry Smith, 
Inman E. Page and John H. Jackson. At present 
the school is in a flourishing condition. It has a 
Faculty of twelve members and an enrollment of 277 
students, the largest number in attendance in the 
historv of the Institute. The members of the

PROF. J. H. JACKSON. 

Prof. John H. Jackson, President of Lincoln In 
stitute, was born in Lexington, October 31, 18.50 
where he received his early education in the public 
schools of that famous judicial seat of Fayettf 
county. Ky. He later entered Berea College, from 
wliiih he graduated with high honors in the class o) 
1874, he being the first negro graduate of the Blue

(iniss St;ili'. Folliiwiiij; llu' completion of liis cdii 
cation lie i'n<>a^ed in i caching a uunilier of years at 
Lexington. In 1881 lie lemoved to Kansas City, 
where he was President of the Lincoln High School 
a number of years. He was appointed by the Gov- 
ernor of Kansas to a nnmber of important positions 
at dirterent times, among them he was clerk of the 
•Jury Commission, and also clerk of the Police Board 
of Commissioners of Kansas City. Kansas, and mem- 
ber of the P>oard of FIxaminers for Kan.sas City, Kan- 
sas, a position no other one of his race had as jet 
been honored with. In 1887 he responded to a call 
from the State Normal College at Frankfort, the 
Cap'tal of his native State, where he continued to 
conduct the affairs of that institution with distin- 
guished ability until 18!)S, when he resigned to ac- 
cept a call to his present exalted position, the most 
important of the State occupied by one of the eman- 
cipated race. President Jackson was united in mar- 
riage July. 1S77. to Miss Henrietta Stewart, a lady 
of education and culture, of Lexington. Ky. This de- 
voted comjianion he had the misfortune to lose by 
death November, 1887. In 1889 he was married to 
Miss Ida Joyce, of Columbus, a graduate of the 
famous High School of the Capital (_'ity of Ohio, and 
a woman whose mentality and culture makes her a 
most congenial and comiuuiionable heljimate of her 
distinguished husband. To the first marriage were 
born two sons; Arthur, the eldest, will graduate 
from Lincoln Institute, class of 1900; Atwood M., 
a bright lad, is also a pupil at that institution, while 
Earl, the son of his present wife, is a pupil in the 
primary department of the Institute. Although 
I'rof. Jackson has devoted his life to the education 
of the negro race, his distinguished ability and very 
broad and well-balanced mind has been recognized 
by the people with whom he has lived and who have 
called upon him to serve them frequently in a politi- 
cal capacity. He was delegate at large from the 
State of Kentucky Xo th._ Republican National Con- 
vention. 188(1, being one of the famous oOtJ whose 
fidelity to Grant in the memorable struggle to place 
the great warrier and statesman a third time in the 
Presidential chair, makes a dramatic jiage in the 
annals of our country's political history. As stated 
above, he served the State of Kan.sas. during hi? 
stay in Kansas City. Kansas, in a number of impor- 
tant jiositions and was prominently mentioned for 
the office of State Auditor, but declined the honor. 
He has also been prominent and earnest in his op- 
position to legislative measures which he thought 
were prejudicial to the interests of the negro race, 
being one of a delegation of several hundred who 
appeared before the Governor of Kansas, request- 



ing him lo (j|i[iiisc, ill iiis message, the famous sepa- 
rate coach l;i\\. ill which pciiiion and ceremonies 
he was the lender and iiiosi inomineni sjieaker. His 
masterly address in ojijiosition lo the measure was 
ba.sed on conditions rather ihaii cnlor. He was also 
chairman of the Committee on Kducational Statis- 
tics of the Negro Kace at the World's Fair in 1803, 
his comprehensive repm i being most favorably com- 
mented upon by the press throughout the L'nited 
States. He was also one of Kentucky's Commis- 
sioners at the Athinta Exposition, at which place, by 
invitation, he made an address on Negi-o Education 
in Kentucky, which attracted much attention from 
those interested in the social and elevating problems 
connected with the negro race throughout the civi- 
lized world. In 1897 he addressed the Senate for 




the purpose of securing an appnqu union for the 
benefit of the State Normal School, which was so 
marked and able, in its jiresentation that the appro- 
priation was made in full of his request. Few men, 
if any, of his race enjoy more fully the confidence 
and esteem of the broad-minded people of the t'nited 
States than dees Prof. J. H. Jackson. His broad 
and well-balanced mind, associated with his sterl- 
ing character, makes him a man eminently fitted for 
the exalted j.-osition of trying to lead and stimulate 
the more ambitious and worthy of his race, to aspire 
to the highest in life. He is a cousitftent member of 
the A. M. E. church, and has been for many years, 
combining with his many other qualities of man- 
hood the highest type of Christianity. Lincoln In- 
stitute, the great State Normal for the negro race 
of Missouri, is fortunate in securing a man of his 
distinguished abilitv and character to direct its af-

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH (COLORED) 



The Second Baptist church (colored) of Jefferson 
City has an interestin.u history. In January, 185!), 
a colored minister, Kiuanuel Cai'twright, comply- 
ing with an urjicnt requt'st, canie to Jefferson City 
to preach at the funeral of Julia Brock. At that 
time (when they were shives) the colored people were 
memhers of the regular First Baptist chinch, with 
whom they worshii)ped. Following the funeral, Rev. 
Cartwright held a series of meetings, which contin- 
ued several weeks, and under his preaching some 5l> 
or (to were converted. In ISfiO the whites, who were 
the Masters, concluded the slaves, who were mem- 
bers of their chufch. should have their own i)astor, 
and in answer to their request, Silas \A'oodson was 
sent from St. Louis to take charge of the church, 
still they were not allowed to hold their meetings 
on account of the excitement at the time resulting 
from the agitation of slavery. Just previous to the 
war, they were not allowed to worship except when 
some of the whites were present. The colored con- 
gregation grew restless under this restraint and 
called a church meeting of their own, and elected 
the following named d(-acons: Archie Drake, How- 
ard Barnes, I'atrom Johnson and Arthur Lee, all of 
w'hom were elected Trustees. They held services 
for some time in a small frame building, between 
Jefferson and Main streets, and later in the stone 
church on Main street, west of the Madison 
Hotel. This building, however, was soon closed 
against them by the then owners, the Presbyterian 
church. Rev. Cartwright continued to visit them 
once a mouth, and when he would fail to appear, the 
deacons would conduct services. The earnest little 
band feeling the necessity of a home of their own, 
decided to make an effort to purchase property, 
which they did, on the corner of Main and ^lonroe 
streets, agreeing to pay for the same 11,150. With 
the co-operation of the earnest and faithful lady 
members of the organization they succeeded in rais- 
ing this amount, after a struggle of some length, 
and the property was deeded to them. The congre- 
gation continued to prosper spiritually, and grew 
in numbers. They exchanged their property for their 
present location, and christened the new building the 
"Second Baptist church of Jefferson City." About 
this time (1873) Rev. (Cartwright gave uii his claim 
on the church, after which they elected a regular 
pastor, the first being Rev. Gabriel Gray, with How- 
;ird Barnes as clerk. After a short time Rev. Gray 
was succeeded by Rev. H. H. AVhite. After the 
departure of Rev. White, Rev. Attwater occupied 
the pulpit a short time, but attempted to defraud 



the congregation without success. He was discov- 
ered, and left clandestinely. About this time John 
(rorden was elected clerk. Rev. IL J. Burton was 
the next pastor, whose administration was prosper- 
ous, both linani-ially and si)iritually. louring one 
of his protracted meetings there were (!5 additions 
to the church. Rev. Burton continued in charge 
nearly three years, and was succeeded by S. P. 
Lewis, who was a puljiit orator of great power. He 
was followed liy Rev. B. F. Ratliff, whose adminis- 
tration was a blessing to the church. November 
11, 1888, Rev. J. S. Dorsey became the pastor in 
charge, continuing for live years. During his pas- 




torate they built a new parsonage at a cost of |1,000, 
and raised during the five years |5,580 in cash. 
When he left, the treasury contained flOO to its 
credit in the bank to go toward the erection of a new 
auditorium, Ww jilaiis of which had been drawn. 
At this time ^^■illiam Manse was elected Treasurer, 
with Mrs. S. H. Wisenuin, Assistant, wlio succeeded 
to the office on the death of Mr. Mause, filling the 
place until a successor was elected in the person of 
John H. Burton. The church organization has built 
adjoining their church proper a splendid audit<uium, 
and now have one of the nicest and most modern 
chui-ch buildings in the city. The present pastor is 
Rev. John Goins, the church now being the best 
e(iuipped and strongest religious organization of col- 
ored people within the Capital City.

AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH. 



The A. .M. E. church of Jefferson City was organ- 
iztd about the year 18(J2 by the Rev. John Turner, 
with twenty-five members. A lot and log cabin at 
11 (i Miller street were given to the members by Mr. 
Elijah Ramsey. For about a year they had no pas- 
tor. In iSOo the Rev. Frank Ca,rter. their first pas- 
tor, was sent to them. He served the church one 
year, and during this time they were holding ser- 
vices, consisting of both Methodists and Baptists, as 
the Baptists had no place to hold services. In 18(i4 
the Rev. Prince Wright was sent to the church, and 
served two years. During this time the old cabin 
was torn down, and a frame structure was erected 
in its place, where the Jlethodists continued to 
worship, having separated from the Baptists. 
The membership continued to increase. They 
worsliipjied in this chunh until isTfi. during 



which time the following jiastors served: Rev. Ed 
ward Doran served two years. Rev. Thornton Smitl 
one year, John F. Jordan two years, M. S. Parks tw( 
years, G. H. Nickels two years, J. C. C. Owens on< 
year, William Ware one year. Rev. William Hen 
derson was sent to the church in 1875, and was its 
jiastor three years; he bought the lot on the cornel 
of Miller and Madison streets, and erected the com 
modious brick Imilding, in which the church stil' 
worships. The church had grown to a membership 
of over one hundred, which made the building a 
necessity. The Rev. Jolin Turner, the man who or 
ganized the churcli fourteen years before, was thf 
next pastor. He served one year. He was followed 
by the following pastors: Reverends John Fouche

During this time the A. M. E."s, that were left, had 
no jilace in which to worship. The Rev. W. A. Nor- 
ris was sent to l<iok after them, and improve their 
condition. The year following, those who had 
withdrawn, tinding they could not hold the prop

ters. The Rev. E. S. P>rown was sent to take charge 
of the remaining few, about fifteen. He was suc- 
ceeded by Rev. JIadison, who was followed by Rev. 
J. C. Caldwell, who served two years, being suc- 
ceeded by Rev. E. R. Vaughan, who served one year. 
At the meeting of the annual Conference in St. 
Louis, in October. ISflil, the Rev. J. F. Sage was sent 
to take charge of the church. Rev. Sage has been 
doing eft'ective work, and within five months he suc- 
ceeded in adding moie than sixty members to the 
congregation. The membership is now back to its 
normal size, and the church is in a prosperous con- 
dition.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES. 



B. H. OTT(». 

Benjamin H. Otto, whose death in this city on 
March 17, !!)()(), cast a gloom over a wide circle of 
friends and relatives and produced a keen but re- 
fining s<irrow in the hearts of his immediate family, 
was a native of Hanover, (xerniany, where he was 
born May lio, 1850, at Drehle Court, Bersenbueck. 
When he was six years of age his parents, Henry 
and Katherine ^'on Delde Otto, immigrated to this 
country. He had the misfortune to lose the one 
who bore to him the sweet relation of mother, wiien 
she was only 3(i years of age. His father, however, 
survived her and reached the allotted time of man, 
three score years and ten. The subject of this 
sketch learned the trade of ju-e-ssnian in the office 
of the St. Louis Repuidic. where he remained a 
number of years. At the age of sixteen he was a 
charter member of the Typographical T'nion, No. 8, 
of St. Louis. He came to Jeftei-son City in 1870,

country and throne, after several short conflicts 
with the Revolutionary party. Those who had been 
active in the Revolution (among whom were the 
Neefsi now found their estates confiscated to the 
crown, and their lives in imminent danger. Many of 
the prominent Republican leaders fled to America, 
among them Carl Schurz of New York and Louis 
Prang of Boston. Mr. Neefs family was scattered, 
and made their wav singlv to -\merica, where, after

Louis, soon after which, on aeoount of serious sick- 
ness, he phued his mother in a hospital, hoping that 
ihe advantages tlius alloided might relieve her phy- 
sical distress; but this hope was without fruition, 

and he was soon reipiired to per- __^ 

form llie sad duties attending her 
death.

w'hich, within a few uioutlis, he re- 
moved to Jefferson City. In 1S.")S he 
sold this business aiul removed to 
Tipton, Mo., where he engaged in 
the hardware business with great 
success, and within a few years his 
business grew to such an extent that 
he owned and operated at the same 
time hardware stores in Tipton, Se- 
dalia, Warrensburg and Versailles. 
Having in this manner accumulated 



considerable wealth he retired from the liardwart 
business and established a large brewery at Tiptou 
\vhicli. within five years, was destroyed by fire, en 
tailing a serious financial los.s. He then o]iened s 
l;irge lioicl in the same city, meeting with great 
C.nancial success, but within six months the entire 
jM iipcrtx was consumed by fire, a total loss. 

Soon ,ifier this he removed tii Jefferson City am

JUDGE E. L. EDWARDS. 

Judfje Edward Livingston Edwards, whose death 
occurred in this city !^ei)teiuber 1, 1894, was one of 
the most prominent and worthy characters found 
in the history of the citizens of Cole county. He 
was born in Rutherford county, Tenn.. March 17, 
1812, on a farm near Murfreesboro, where he re- 
mained until 19 years of age. His early educational 
advantages were confined to a few Winter months 
in the nearby school. He engaged t-o teach a school 
term in Williamson county, but resigned in the Au- 
tumn of 1831, coming directly to Jefferson City, Mo., 
where he studied law with his elder brother, Hon. 




John (". Edwards, the Secretary, and later Governor 
of the State. In February, is;',."), he was licensed to 
practice law, and during the same year was elected 
Clerk of the ("ircuit and County Court, the office of 
which had just been nuide elective. In 1837 he was 
elected Brigadier (leiieral of the First Brigade, Cth 
Division of Missouri ^Militia, but resigned the posi 
tion a few weeks later. In 1838 he established, in 
company Avith John McCullough, the Jefferson En- 
quirer, as a Democratic jjaper, but suspended the 
publication at the close of the campaign in 1840 on 



account of lack of patronage. In 1S41 he was aj 
pointed by Governor Reynolds Circuit Attorney o 
the Fourteentti Judicial District, which office h 
resigned soon after and entered earnestly into th 
practice of the legal profession. In 1S4G he wa 
elected to the State Legislature, and two years late 
to the Senate. In 1858 he retired from practic 
and removed to his faiiu in the Osage Valley, 1 
miles east of the city. In 18(!0. however, becoming ii 
t nsely interested in the tragedy breeding question 
which occupied the minds of the people then, h 
removed to Jefferson City and became the editor-ii 
chief of the Examiner, a strong Democratic orgai 
After one year he again retired to tlie farm. I 
lS(i:{ lie again removed to Jefferson City, resuniin 
the practice of law, and in 1S74 was elected to th 
Legislature. In May 1879, he was elected to th 
bench to till the vacancy caused by the death o 
Judge (ieorge ^\'. Miller, to which position he wa 
re-elected in November 1880. His life on the bene' 
was marked with the same love of justice, as it ha^ 
been as a lawyer at the bar, and he was fre(iaentl 
called to jireside in other circuits by his brothe 
judges. His judicial career ended, after fourtee; 
year's service, December 31, 189ii. He then bein: 
nearly SI years of age, declined to be a caudidat 
for re-election, though ])hysically he could do a 
much as any member of the bar and his mind wa 
not in the least aft'ected. He was recognized as on 
of the best Circuit Judges that ever presided i 
Missouri. His demise, September 1, 1894, was th 
result of a stroke of paralysis at 7:30 a. m. 

In 1840 he was married to Ann Ivy, daughter o 
^^'arren Dixon, of North Carolina. His widow sui

Hall, Lexington, Concord, Cambridge and Bunker

sorrowful incidents attending the death of the only 
one who bore to him the sweet relation of sister,

TIOX. 

The most potent influence in life is knowledg 
which is to be gathered largely from books. Ca 
lisle said: "The influence of a good book is ii 
flnite," while a more recent and fully as talent€ 
writer has said: "Unfortunate in our time is t 
who is born into a home where there is an al)un( 
ance of everything except books, and happy shoul 
be the man who must live in a small house if it I 
rich in books, for each one will be to him a kini 
dom." Emerson says: "There is one mind con 
mon to all individual men. Every man is an ink 
to the same and to all the same. He that is one 
admitted to the right of reason is made a freema 
to the whole estate." Bare and extravagant spiril 
come to the world at intervals and disclose to i 
through books, new facts in nature, thought an 
life. From good books one can often gather in 
few hours rich treasures which cost the writer 
lifetime of study and labor to produce, ilany ai 
waking to the advantages and pleasures atlorde 
by good literature and reaching out for the rich( 
being garnered in books from tbe accumulated wi 
doiii of ages. 

The Ca])ital ("ity awoke to tbe advantages of 
library, and begun energetically the work of secu 
ing this luxury for its citizens in January. 189:

he increase both in number of volumes and patrons 
n the year 1800. it is confidently expected, with the 
low growing interest, the liluary, at no distant date, 
vill occupy a building of its own and the number 
)f its volumes increased to several thousand. The 
■alue to a conuuunity of the privileges of a well se-

MRS. M. V. EDWARDS. 

The Supreme Judges of Jlissouri. in selecting 
he State Librarian, made a wise choice in the per- 
son of Mrs. Mary Virginia Edwards. Since the 
ieath of her distinguished husband, Hon. John N. 
Edwards, (May 4, 1880,) she has been prominently 
connected with many important public movements. 
>he was Secretary of the Missouri State Board of the 
iVorUfs Fair (1892), having charge of the Missouri 
>uildiiig most of the time. After seven months in 
"hicago. she accepted an appointment in the office 
)f Charles Higgius, Recorder of Voters of St. Louis, 
vho is now Excise Commissioner of that city. Mrs. 
i^dwards received her present appointment in 1897, 
dnce which time she has managed the affairs of 
he important office with ability and tact, making 
uany improvements. She was elected (1899) Presi- 
lent of theMissouri State Association of the Daugh- 
ers of the Confederacy, having been a member since 
he organization. As a member of the Board of 
he Confederate Home Association, she has traveled 
'xtensively in the interest of the Confederate monu- 
nent, to be erected at Spiiugfleld this year. The 



jjarents of Mrs. Kdwaids wine James Selby and 
Laura Yerby I'latteuburg, natives of \'irginia and 
early settlers of Dover,' Lafayette county, ilo. : she 
was educated in the private school of the Rev. James 
Chaney, a Presbyterian minister, who now has 
charge of the Tln'ological College at Independence, 
.Mo. 

Her elopement with Maj. John N. Edwards, then 
with the Kansas <"ity Times, forms an interesting 
romance in her full life. The objection to this union 
was grounded solely on the near family relation- 
ship of the parties. They were married at the res- 
idence of Gen. Joseph O. Shelby, near Aullville. in 
Lafayette county. We quote from the Kansas City 
Times: "Maj. John N. Edwards was married on 
March 28, 1871, to Marv Virginia Platteubuig, of 




Dover, Lafayette county. Mo., a woman not less bril- 
liant than himself, of high impulses, poetic, senti- 
mental and of an uncommon literary faculty; she is 
a fit companion for this molder of the "fiery and de- 
lectable shapes." To this union were born two sons 
and one daughter, John and James now young busi- 
ness men of St. Louis, and Laura, a young lady of 
lovely character and a charming personality, is now 
taking a post-graduate course at the Sacred Heart 
Convent, St. Louis. JIo.. and was recently appointed 
by Gen. McCullough first maid of honor of the 
Daughters of the Confederacy of Missouri to attend 
the National meeting of the United Confederate 
N'eterans of the United States (May 31, 1000.) in 
Louisville, Ky., an honor most worthily bestowed. 
To Miss Laura we~ cannot pay a higher tribute than 
to say she is worthy of her distinguished parents. 
Mrs. Edwards is not only favored by nature, physi- 
cally, l>nt her nnusuall\ bright- mind has been great- 
ly enriched by study, experience, travel and the as- 
sociation with her brilliant and versatile husband. 
She makes her hiuiic at the McCarlv House.

from which place he came with his parents to 
America when ten years of age, locating in Pitts- 
burgh, Pa. Here the subject of this sketch secured 
a position to attend the tire of a small stationary 
engine in the cellar of a factory. AVhen his work 
was over, at night he apjilicd himself to the task of 




learning thoroughly the streets of the city, and when 
he had them rtrnily in his memory he secured a posi- 
tion as messenger boy in a telegraph office. After 
being there a short time he requested the manager 
to teach him telegra]ihy. The manager took an in- 
terest at once in tlic bright boy and gave liini 
every opportunity in addition to which he was con- 
stantly engaged in praclicing when not at other 
work, and although it was I lie custom of the office 
at that time to receive by tape, the young lad re- 
ceived only by sound. In a short time he had ac- 
quired such skill in tclcgrajihy that he was able to 
get a position on the line of the Pennsylvania Rail- 
road System which at that time, as compared to its 
present immense proportions, was a small affair. 
The ambitious lad suggested a system of dispatch- 
ing trains which made the capacity of the road 
much greater and did not diminish the safety of its 
operations. Thomas A. Scott, the great railroad 



niagnali'. who was later President of the system 
was attracted by the ingenuity of the lad and se 
lected him as his Private Secretary; ithis was at the 
time when Mr. Scott was just iK'ginning his won 
(lerful career.) When Mr. Scott was made Vice 
President, his I'rivate Secretary, Mr. ("arnegie, wa; 
made a Division Superintendent. \\"i\\\ his greatb 
increased salary and continuing to practice econ 
omy, he was able to invest his surplus earnings ii 
nil lands, and later in the manufacture of sleepinj 
cars. These investments laid the foundati(ni of hii 
enormous fortune which he is generously using 
both in this country and in his native (Scotland) 
( stablishing libraries and other iihilanthrojiic meas^ 
tires. Uiiring his youth, in fact all his life, he ha: 
been a dose student and an oiiinivcious reader. an( 
through his suggestions and iiitliience was aide t( 
etlVct great changes and improvements in the man 
ageiiieut of public libraries. At this time he wa

iiiiiH'd to devote his life to literary ]mrsiiits. bu 
nil oiipoi-liniity ]iresented itself (which he though 
promised large returnsi to make InM-slments in th

sion for a Monarchial government, his views on th

Judge James Uritton (iuntt. Chief Justice and 
'residing Judge of the Missouri Supreme Court, was 
loin in Putnam county, (in., October l-'d. 1S4."). His 
dncati<in was in the piivate schools and academies 
f Jones and Kibb counties, Georgia. In the Spring 
if lS(i2, at the age of sixtei n years, he enlisted in 
he Twelfth (Jeorgia Regiment Infantry, C. S. A., 
nd served in Jackson's Second Army Corjis. .\rmy 
f Northern A'irginia, until jicrmanently disabled by 
wound at Cedar Creek Valley. \'a.,October 1!),1S(»4. 
'revious to this he was twice wounded at the fa- 
iious P.attle of (lettysburg, and met with a similar 
iii.sfortune at the Rattle of the Wilderness, ^lay 3, 
864. After the war he read law under Col. L. N. 
A'hittle of Macon (!.i.. later attending the Law 
)epartinent of the I'niversity of A'irginia, 
rom which place he graduated in July, 1S(>S. 
le removed to Missouri in October of that 
'ear, and engaged in the practice of his 
)rofession. He has been associated in his le- 



gal practici' with men of National prominem-e, 
aiiKing them the \cneralile Tnited States Senator 
(ieorge (i. \'esl. He was elected Judge of the 
Twenty Second Judicial Circuit of Missouri in No- 
\embei-. ISSO; after serving six years, he declined 
a re-election, and retuined to the practice of his 
jii-ofcssion at Clinton. He was elected to his present 
position as Judge of the Supreme Court of Missouri, 
to succeed Judge Robert I). Ray, at the November 
election. ISilO. He was united in marriage to Miws 
Alice Waith. April L':'>. 1S72, who died August 8, 
iss;i. lie has four children. On July 2?,. 1801, he 




was united in marriage to Jlrs. Matilda (nee Weide- 
meyer) Lee, a lady of rare culture, who, in addition 
to her many charms of mind .ind person, is an excep 
tionally tine jierformer on the piano forte. Of the 
many men who occupy a position as Judge in the 
State of ^lissouri, not in one are the elements which 
should constitute a man worthy of this exalted po- 
sition more completely represented than in the per- 
son of Judge Gautt. He has enjoyed unusual ad- 
vantages, having been associated with the greatest 
legal minds of the country, his observing mind en- 
abling him to profit by the association. In addi- 
tion to being a close student and reader of the many 
legal publications and law commentaries, he has

he has been a close reader and student since his 
early youth when he was lead in this direction by 
the counsel and intluence of a pious. Christian 
mother. He is a member of the Cumberland Pres- 
byterian church, and in the multitude of his duties, 
including the reading necessary to equip him for 
decisions on the im]iortant questions constantly be 
fore him. he finds time to study the lessons pre- 
pared for the Sabbath school scholars, and his talks 
to the class of young men in the Presbyterian 
church every Sunday niorniug are rare treats to 
the favored members of the class, most of whom 
will doubtless be largely benefited by his wise 
■counsel and example, and through whom the good 
seed will multiply when they assume the responsi- 
bilities of social and business life. As to his ability 
-..s a Judge the number of his important decisions 
and opinions confirnu-d by the United States Su- 
preme Court attest, while the fact that he will be 
renominated this Fall by acclamation should be 
a gratifying assurance to him that his worth and 
sterling qualities, as both a Judge and citizen are 
recognized and appreciated by the citizens of the 
proud commonwealth of Missouri. He resides, wiili 
his family, at his comfortable home, 111 East Mc-

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH (SOUTH; 



Tlu' iletlmdiist Episcdjial ( liurcli (Soiitli), of Jef- 
ferson City, was oiganized in Uetober, 1841, with 
forty members. The only names preserved on the 
records, however, were R. F. Kerr, H. Hough and 
James A. McClain, who were the officers of the first 
quarterly conference. Prior to this, William ]\I. 
Kerr erected a residence near the penitentiary 
where he organized a class in 1S38. Prayer meet- 
ings had also been held alternately at the homes of 
Peter McT^ain. John 1). Cun-v. William KeiT and 



as pastor, the church was dedicated (Rev. Thomas 
\\'allace preaching the dedicatory sermon), where 
iliey worshipped many years. The next pastors in 
( Iiarge were Revs. W. H. Lewis, J. H. Linn, W. 
''A'harton, J. Stamper, T. H. Caper, Thomas T. 
Ashby, A. L. Hamilton, T. M. Finney, Joseph Boyle, 
J. V. Headenburg, John H. Headly, William M. Left-

AS THE CHURCH NOW APPE.\RS, MAY 23, 190U. 

The above cut represents the new M. E. Church (South) now in course ot construction at the corner of Main and Monroe 
streets. The exterior walls are being faced with native lime stone, which presents not only an indestructible face to the elements, 
but a very pleasing and harmonious effect, equal, If not superior, to the celebrated Carthage or Bedford stone. The importance 
of this particular piece of stone work in its bearing upon the future stone industry of Cole county and Jefferson City can hardly 
be computed. Mountains of- this valuable and really beautiful building stone surround the city, and it needs only to be quarried 
by the proper machinery to make it the cheapest as well as the best building stone in Missouri. No Cole county or Jefferson City 
building in the future need depend upon outside quarries for stone. 



Jesse ^^'al(l^uIl. I'lililic services were held in the 
old State House, where the JIansion now stands, 
the old County Court House and an old school build- 
ing. The old church (now used as a residence, 22-' 
Fast Main street,) was begun in 1839. The first 
pastor in charge here was Rev. Jesse L. Bennett 
(]S41), serving one year. In 1842 Rev. J. W. Chand- 
ler took charge, who greatly assisted in pushing 
forward the completion of the church building then 
in course of construction. During the second year 



of this district, continued to hold s.ervices as long 
as he could. Services were also held by Rev. Jacob 
Ditzler, who became pastor later. The church was 
broken up and the membership scattered, most of 
whom worshipped with the Northern church. Dur- 
ing his pastorate here Rev. Ditzler exi)ressed freely 
his opinions, and was to have been arrested by the 
Northern soldiers, when Mrs, Allen Richardson, wife 
of Col. Richardson, a Northern synii)athizer. and a 
warm friend of Rev. Ditzler, advised him to leave,

time en route from Rockingluun county, ^'a., to 
Marietta, Ohio. He entered Marietta College in 
1839, being one of the first students of the institu- 
tion. A constitutional jirovision of this college re- 
ipiired ea<h student to lalxrr three hours every day 




at some mechanical trade, a rule to wlii< li there was 
no excejition. it governing both rich and poor. The 
money earned by the students while engaged in 
this work was their own and used by the more am- 
bitious to assist in their education. He continued 
liere four years, comideting his education in 184;i 
with a thorough and jiractical kucjwledge as buggy.

carriage and horse cart builder, which included Ihe 
wood worli, iron woi k, Irjiuniing and painting. After 
leaving college he engaged as clerk on what was 
called a store-boat, which was loaded with furniture 
and other merchandise, on which he went South as 
far as Memphis. Tenn.. where he left the boat and 
engaged as clerk in a gi'ocery store, in which posi- 
tion he continued the following two years, when 
he returned to Marietta. Ohio. He was licensed 
to preach by the M. E. church (South) in 1844. in 
which ennobling work he has engaged continuously 
since. His itinerancy as a ])reacher in this great 
church organization covers a large part of the states 
of Virginia. Kentucky, Missouri and California. In 
Missouri he was several times a presiding elder and 
as presiding elder and j)i'ea(her his woik was in the 
more important fields of the State, including St. 
Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Carthage. Jefferson 
City and other important points. While in Cali- 
fornia he was two years stationed in San Francisco, 
the field of his labors covering all parts of the State, 
from the snow-capped Mount Shasta, in the North, 
to Los Angeles and San Diego, in the South. The 
l)ulpits he occupied in Kentucky and Virginia were 
the most important and i)rominent of those states. 
Few jireachers of that great church organization 
have been the equal of Dr. rrottsmau, physically 
or mentally. Even now in his SOth year his humor 
is irresistible, and although his thoughts and ex- 
jiressions are of the highest order he is thoroughly 
practical and wielded a jjowerful influence wher- 
ever located, not only in his church. Imt in business 
and sniial circles. ]5ut the work of this great man 
has not been coutlned to his oral declarations from 
the pulpit. He has given to the world some choice 
books. His volume jiublished a few years ago, 
''Autumn Leaves." not only contains the choicest, 
most beautiful and elevating thoughts expressed 
in well-chosen words, but is full of humor with suf- 
ficient pathos to make it doubly interesting and help- 
ful to the reader. He has published several other 
books of great value and is now engaged in writing 
a book entitled "The I'nknown," which he expects 
to complet-e this year. His home is in Jetlerson 
City, where he enjoys, with his devoted wife (nee 
Anna, daughter of the late Edward Lewis, a promin- 
ent and wealtli\ farmer and tobacco manufacturer 
of Glasgow, Mo., who lias now been the companion 
of his joys and sorrows nearly a half century), the 
warm friendship and esteem of a wide circle of 
friends and adiiiii-ers.

gation, botli spiritually and tinancially. He has by 
his fact and continuous, earnest and intelligent 
work, with the co-ojieration of his faithful congre- 
gation, provided means for pushing forward the 
constrnctlon of the elegant church home, now build- 
ing, which, when comjileted, will be the most im- 
jiosing and thoroughly e(]uipped church structure 
in Central Missouri. Kev. Karnes was united in 
marriage, June 11, ISild. to Christine Schlotzhauer, 
who was at the time in charge of the Musical Con- 
servatory of Pilot Grove College. To this union 
Lave been born three children: Nadine, now eight 
years of age, Maurine, aged six, and Arthur, a babe 
of eighteen months. Rev. Barnes is a member of the

AraericanWar he wasChaplain of the ^<ixth Missouri. 
Of the ministers in the great religious organiza- 



tion of the M. E. church (South) none are better 
equipped, physically or mentally, for the success- 
ful work of preacher and pastor than Kiev. A. H. 
Barnes. He enjoys perfect health, with an en- 
ergy that impels forward continuously his well- 
developed physical and mental organization. He is 
a close student, and having engaged actively in 
work with men and measures has had a large ex- 
perience which he uses profitably. He has a buoyant 
and magnetic presence that draws people to him 
and assists greatly in making friends, especially 
among the young peojile, who become his valuable 
aids to successful work. In addition to his regular 
duties to his church as preacher and pastor he is 
Vice-President of the Southwestern Annual Confer- 
ence Ijeague, and one of its leading spirits. With 
his wife, who, in addition to her tine musical accom- 
plishments, is a lady of rare mental culture and in 
thorough sympathy with her husband, he makes 
his home at the parsonage, 419 East Main Street.

in the City of New York, a son of the distinguished 
George L. Neide, D. D., of that city, one of the most 
]>rominent men occupying the ]pulpit in that re- 
ligious (U'ganizatiou. The subject of this sketch, 
who is American on lioth his father's arfd mother's 
side f(U- more than I'dO years, attended school in 
the city of his birth until the age of 14, whi-n la- 
entered St. Stejdien's College. Anondale, N. Y., 
where he gi'aduated with the degree of A. P..; he

GERMAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. 



When ;; Ceinian Methodist congregation for Jef- 
ferson City was first contemplated, the circuit con- 
tained many fields of labor. i>ebastian Earth, who 
was sent out by the American Tract Society to look 
after the spiritual welfare of the Germans in this 
part of Missouri, first visited the German settle- 
ments at Jefl"erson City, California. Lake Creek, 
Jamestown, Lexington, Boonville and Pilot Grove. 
After doing work as colporteur for the society a 
short time during 1S4:!, he was sent to these places 
as jiastor by the German Methodist church, which 
had its lit'ad(]uarters at Cincinnati, Ohio. A short 
time after an assistant was necessary, and H. Nuel- 
son. ttien only nineteen years old, was engaged. 
The first administering of the sacrament was at 
Lalie Creek, near Sedalia, in 1844, to which place 
Rev. L. S. Jacoby (the first missionary of the Ger 
man M. E. church to Germany), Rev. P.arth and Rev. 
Xuelson had come on horseback fr(nn Hermann. 
Mo., via Jefferson City. Revs. Earth and Nuelson 
were succeeded by Revs. Eisenmeyei-. H. C. Dreyei',

Klilijiel, C. Steinly, I'eter Hehner. F. Janson, Jacob 
May. J. M. Dervein, H. Miiehlenbruck, J. J. Eichen- 
i>erger and G. W. Reitz. The service as pastor 
at that time was limited to two years (a 
rule since abolished), which made the list of minis- 
ters during all these years a long one. As the fields 
grew they were divided and sub-divided until at 
jJi'eiJent there are ten pastors doing the work of ttie 
district that at first refjuired only one. The first 
jM-eaching, before the societies were organized, was 
in i>rivate homes. 

In 187.") Rev. George Reitz succeeded in complet- 
ing the present briek church building on the corner 
(it Elm street and Eroadway. He was followed in 
his work as pastor in chai'ge by the following min 
isters in the order named: Revs. Wm. Baltke, Chas. 
AVehrman, J. G. Hildenstein, C. C. Stahman, .T. J. 
Ste-ninger, Smith, Eiinkmeyer, Fred Koenig, Emil

MRS. F. P. GRANT, CHURCH WORKER AND WRITER. 



^Irs. Frank Palmer (nee Mary Wisdom) Grant is 
a native of Missouri, her birthplace being the old 
historical town of Huntsville, the judicial seat of 
Randolph county. Her father. William Monroe 
"\Msdom. was of one of the most prominent families 
of the State, a man highly educated, being a gradu- 
ate of several colleges, and one whose inheritance 
and association with the refining influences of sev- 
eral generations of highly cultured men and women 
made of him a most distinguished and cultured gen- 
tleman. He was many years of his life a prominent 
and wealthy banker of Huntsville, whose financial 
loss M"as doubtless a circumstance which led his 
now distinguished and talented daughter, to be a 
much more useful and valuable member of society 
than if she had continued in the luxurious home 



of wealthy and indulgent parents. Her mother wai 
Miss Anna Carpenter Hallack, a grand-daughte: 
of Station George Carpenter of Kentucky, a dis 
tinguished and ju-ominent character of the Blu( 
Grass State. The mother of !Mrs. Grant (Mrs. Ann; 
Hallack Wisdom, now of Houston, Tex.,) is regardec 
by those who know her and have bad the good for 
tune to associate with and observe her charactei 
and life, as one of the most noble of a noble clasi 
of Christian women, which now grace the member 
ship of the Christian church, and one whose whoh 
impulse is to do good, more fully described as out 
of those characters in whose presence one can noi 
think a mean thought or speak an ungenerous word 
From such parentage, with the added blessing of be 
ing required by what some would call a misfortune

(the loss of wealth) to engage iu the practieal stern 
duties of life, it is not strange that she has devel- 
oped into a broad-minded and useful woman. The 
early education of Mrs. Grant was in her native town 
where she attended school, going from the palatial 
Inmie of her parents. When fourteen years of age, 
lier fatlier having suffered heavy financial losses, 
she opened a private school in his home for the pur- 
pose of securing means to aid in the completion of 
her education. She was later a student of the High 
School of St. Louis, after which she attended the 
famous ("liristian College at Columbia, Mo. (the 
"Athens" of the State), where she graduated, the 
valedictorian of her class, her mother being a gradu- 
ate of the same institution just a quarter of a cen- 
tury before. She taught English and History in this 
college for several years, when she resigned to take 
charge of the Department of English in "Our 
Daughters" " College of Fulton, Mo. The growing 
responsiliilities of teacher added earnestness to her 
iiatur:ill.\ intense nature, marriage and motherhood 
deepened and enriched her character, and the sum 
of these for( es can be felt in her work in the Sunday- 
SrliiKiJs iif the St;ite of which she is one of the most 
active and effective workers, being at present State 
Superintendent of Sunday-School Work of the 
< 'liii <tiaii t'linicli of .Missoui'i. .\ft<n- her marriage 
to Mr. (rrant (a jiromiuent and successful business 
man, and now a Directoi' and Secretary of the Cie- 
secke Boot and Shoe Manufactuiiiig Company, of 
Jefferson (/ity, Mo-.i she for some years made lier 
home in St. Louis, where she continued until her 
liiisliaiiil became interested in the above manufac- 
turing business, and in conse([uence removed to this 
city. ^Miile in St. Louis she was Superintendent 
of the Sunday-School of the Central Christian 
church, being the only lady who occupied that im- 
portant position in that city, she being at the time 
lecturer of the Sunday-School Union, and did much 
valuable work among all denominations of St. Louis. 
Since leaving St. Louis, Mrs. Grant has resigned as 
Sujierintendent of the Sunday-School, but her field 
lias broadened She contributes regularly to Sun- 
day-School publications under the head of "Help 
for Primary Teachers." Her timely notes and sug- 
gestions aid the teachers greatly in their noble work, 
and give evidence of her close and analytical study 
of the Book of books. Mrs. Grant has been ex- 
ceedingly fortunate in her marriage, which occurred 
at the home of her jiarents in Huntsville on August 
111. ISttl, her husband's ideas on social and religious 
life beingin perfect harmonywith her own and their 
domestic relations being ideal. To this union has 
been born a sou. Barton Stone, now a bright boy of 



seven years, the three making a most charming and 
interesting family circle. We give a few quotations 
from the press: The Christian Evangelist, April 26, 
wot): "Mrs. Mary Wisdom Grant is the foremost pri- 
mary teacher and writer of the Christian church." 
Rev. F. G. Tyrrell, pastor of the Central Christian 
church of St. Louis: "I am glad in the first place 
to know that Mrs. Grant is a reading, thinking 
woman, and in the second place that she knows 




how to give her intellectual store to others." "Our 
Yoimg Folks" of December, 189!), says: "Mrs. Mary 
^^'isdom Grant, who is our primary assistant, has 
given great satisfaction during the first year of our 
work. Her primary talks have become famous and 
words of appreciation have come from various and 
l)rominent sources." Nevada Mail: "Mrs. Mary Wis- 
dom Grant, though still a young woman, has a 
national reputation as a writer, orator and lecturer; 
though logical and instructive, her talks are never 
tiresome. She cleverly combines humor, pathos 
and eloquence, and never fails to inspire her audi- 
ence, and draw out the best in the people." The 
St. Louis Globe-Democrat in its report of the Inter- 
national Christian Convention at Sedalia: "There 
were many prominent workers from other states 
present. The strongest and by far the most inter- 
esting address at the convention was that of Mrs. 
Mary Wisdom Grant. She is a natural orator, and 
easily held the attention of the large and uncomfort- 
ably crowded audience." ile.xico Ledger of June, 
1898: "Mrs. ilary \A'isdom Grant is a natural, 
graceful and easy speaker. In her self-forgetfuluess 
and earnestness she carried her audience to a high 
pitch of patriotic enthusiasm, her remarks being 
followed by a deafening aiijdause. During the en- 
tire .session of the convention her readv wit and

lot with I he Chrislian cliurcli at this jilace, and both 
the congregation and Sunday-School have been 
greatly enriched by her presence and active and ef- 
fective work. In addition to her intellectual attain- 
ments she is a fine musician, playing on both piano 
and guitai', and has a rich, highly cultured contralto 
voice, which she freely uses in the song service of 
the church and Sunday-School. She also has ex- 
(M^ptional talent as an artist, which she uses effect- 
iyely in illustrating her otherwise highly interest- 
ing lectures and talks. Her sjtecial work in the 
church has been in enlisting young men and women 
in making the church attractive and Bible study in- 
teresting for them. Like her mother, she is in- 
tensely interested in young people, and generally 
beloved by them. She has a peculiar way of win- 
ning their confidence, and has thus helped many 
a boy and girl out of trouble, aud started them ou 
the road to a higher life. She believes religion is 
helping jjeople, and uses much of her time in a tact- 
ful way in securing positions for deserving young 
men and women. Some of Mrs. Grant's best lec- 
tures are along the line of develojuuent of 
spiritual power, she is particularly happy in her 
talks to children, and never fails to enlist their 
sympathy and attention, in this department her ser- 
vices are in dk'mand by all denominations. Mrs. 
Grant, in addition to her bright, highly cultured 
mind and many accomplishments, is highly favored 
physically. She has every promise of a useful life, 
and her sphere of usefulness will not be limited 
within the scope of any one city, county or state.

of her youth, aud as a result she has the largest 
available school fund of any Slate hi the Fniou, 
while none enjoy a more liberal and thorough s.ys-

CITY SCHOOLS OF JEFFERSON CITY. 



The jiublic schools of Jett'erson City are in keep- 
ing with the progressive spirit of the comnumity. 
The system is that which prevails in cities of this 
class throughout ilissouri. The number of pupils 
in attendance the jiast year were 1,100, of which 140 
were colored. This does not include about 100 who 
attend St. Peter's Parochial School; about 3O0 who 
jittend Lincoln Institute; about 100 who attend the

J. W. ElOHAEDSON, A. M. 

Prof. John V\'. Eichardson, Superintendent of 
the Public Schools of Jefferson City, had the degree 
of A. M. conferred upon him by the College of 
Emporia, Emporia, Kansas. Since the completion of 
his education he has devoted his efforts, with the 
exception of a few years as publisher and editor of a 
newspaper, entirely to educational work, in -wliicli 
profession he has been principal of a number of 
prominent schools and academies of Kansas and 
Missouri. He served a number of terms as County 
Superintendent of dift'erent counties in the State of 
Kansas, and was a number of years U. S. Supervisor 
of Education of the Fourth District, composed of 
Kansas, Oklahonui and Indian Territory. He was 
elected to his present olfice in the Fall of 189!), and 
has recently been re-elected with an advance of 
salary to serve a second term. He is a fine specimen 
of physical and mental manhood, well preserved, 
vigorous and active. His well-balanced mind is 
richly stored, not only with much of the accumulated 
wisdom garnered in books, but has profited by his 
wide experience and observation in the various rela- 
tions of life. He has been a constant attendant and 
promoter of the Teachers' Institutes, of which he was 
generally conductor, where his receptive mind was 
quick to catch the best ideas advanced by the many 
teachers with whom he thus came in contact. His 
ideals are the highest, yet thoroughly practical, he 
believes in the importance of a general education, 
the trend of his mind being to the idea that educa- 
tion should include in its scope physical development 
and manual training, associated with a technical and 
broad culture; that the High School should have 
not only a broad course of study preparing the stu- 
dents for entering the higher colleges and univer- 
sities, but such as to thoroughly equip them for the 
practical discharge of the duties of life in all its 
relations. Prof. Eichardson uses every means with- 
in his reach to advance the interests in his charge.

ST. PETER'S PAEOCHIAL SCHOOL. 

St. Peter's Parish was (ugauized in 1846, at 
which time their first church building was erected. 
The organization not feeling equal to the task of 
providing a school building, the late Francis Eoer 
opened his spacious home and invited the little ones 
of the Parish to come there for insti'uctiou, which 
he cheerfully gave, teaching them to read and write 
and also giving them religious instruction, which 
included the catechetical instruction. In 1854. under 
the administration of Father Blaarer, the first pa- 
rochial school building was erected east of the little 
frame church on High street, on the ground now 
included in the convent garden. It was a one-story 
brick building, and served as a parochial school un- 
til the completion of the second church under Father 
Walsh in 1857, when the school was removed to the 
old frame church, the first building erected by Cath- 
olics in the city. This building was used for school 
purpo.ses until 1868, when the convent was built and 
placed in charge of four sisters of the Notre Dame 
Order, who had been sent from Milwaukee, Wis.,

fiEKMAX EVANGELICAL CENTRAL S<^HO(»L. 

The German Evangelical Central church i-ecog- 
nizes the necessity of the public schools and fully 
i'ijpreciates their usefulness. At the same time, 
however, it feels an obligation resting upon itself 
to offer its members the additional opportunities 
of having their children instructed in religion and 
in ihe German language. For this reason it main- 
la ins a parochial school. The sending of their 
children to this school is not compulsory but op- 
tional with the members of the church. The school 
building, a two-story brick, on South Washington 
street, was erected in 1871, when a school was organ- 
iz-cd and continued the following three years, after 
which there was no sclioid under the Evangelical 
Central church until 1892, \\lien it was reorganized 
with (i.j pujiils, in charge of Prof. Tlieo. Braun of 
Evansville. Ind., whose work was successful and 
whose resignation for tlie piii]iose of preparing for 
the ministi-y the congregation reluctantly acceptc^d 
in 18!(4. The ](ast five years the school has been in 
charge of I'lof. Carl IJraun, a most success- 
ful teacher, who, in the Summer of lOOfl 
lesigned to accept a position in a (Jerman 
Evangelical school of St. Louis. In addition 
to the teaching of (Jerman, work in the 
English branches is a prominent feature and 



conforms as niuch as possible to that of the jniblic 
schools, the same text books being used. The veiy 
successful term just closed was cniii|ileled under 
the sii[)eivisioii and charge of .Miss Pauline Dall- 
meyer. a \(iung lady of rare culture, who has just 
comiileted a several-years" course in |n-oiiiinei|t- 
sihools of (ieruiany. The school is under the gen- 
eral supervision of the ]>astor. Rev. Th. L. Mueller, 
>viiO also assists dail\ in the wmk. 



EVANGELICAL LITIIERAN TRINITY SCHOOL. 

It is an invariable rule of the Lutheran ministers 
of the Missouri Synod to establish a school wher- 
ever they gather a congregation. They and their 
people are not enemies of the public schools, but 
believe a child should be educated in religious ])rin- 
cijiles as well as in secular branches. The Luthi-ran 
Trinity congregation of Jefferson City following 
this idea established a school and called a teacher 
even before they had a church and minister. The 
beginning of the school was in 1870. different stu- 
dents teaching. Two years later the congregation 
called their first minister. Rev. J. Walker, now of 
('leveland. Ohio, who began teaching the day after 
his installment as pastor. After his departure stu- 
dents again instructed until the second minister 
A\as called. Rev. H. Wesche, who served other 
charges in his jiastorial work in addition to this one, 
ti'iiching at the saim- time. After faithfully serving 
some seven years he accepted a call to another 
charge. Rev. H. Kaeppel being his successor, whose 
father, Mr. John Kaepiiel. was a teacher by jirofes- 
sion, and had charge of the school, except the Eng- 
lish branches, which were taught by the son, now 
Profe-ssor of Concordia College. Mr. Kaeppel con- 
tinued in charge of this school one year after the 
dei'arture of his son. when Rev. C. Purzner was 
(ailed. Under his care the school became so large 
an assistant was necessary and J. S. L. Deffner was 
engaged, who continued several years, when he ac- 
cepted a position to teach in St. Louis. The min- 
ister taught for a while, when the congregation 
called W. C. Poll, a graduate of the Addison illl.) 
Normal. P.oth minister and teacher were called 
to other fields, when the jireseut pastor. Rev. Fred. 
ile_\er. was called, who had charge of both school 
and church one year, when Prof. H. H. Beiderwieden 
was engaged for the school. The attendance 
grew so large that an assistant. Miss ]\Iinnie 
Wdlfrum, was emiiloyed. the number of scholars 
being 11(1. During Prof. Beiderwieden's term the 
scliool building was renuuhded and is now one of 
the best furnished in the citv. At the end of the

structure, corner of Monroe and McCarty streets,

I'ooks are the same as the public school. Besides 
catechetical instruction, reading, writing and gram 
mar in German, all branches are taught in English. 



MISS ErPES" TEIVATE SCHOOL. 

In the educational advantages of Jefferson City 
is included the private school of Miss Julia Ei)]ies. 
After teaching a number of years in the public 
schools of the city, Miss Eppes opened a private 
school at her home. 101 W. McCarty, in 1896. Many 
pupils whom she taught in the public schools came 
and finished under her instruction. She has had 
exctllent success, the average enrollment being 
about twenty-five pupils, coming largely from the 
prominent families. This is the only private school 
in the city, the liberal patronage of which is a strong 
endorsement of Miss Eppes as a teacher of excep- 
tional qualifications, which have enabled her to give 
unnersal satisfaction to her patrons.

POULTRY INDUSTRY. 



To many, perlia[is to mosi, jicople the Poultry In- 
dustry seems of little importance; but when com- 
pared in tlu^ aggregate with other industries a most 
astonishing revelation awaits the investigator. 

This unpretentious but ever active industry is so 
diversified and capable of development under so 
dissimilar and varying circumstances as to elude 
and deceive the ordinary observer. 

The experts in this industry are not always able 
to judge the vastness of the su]ii)ly in the poultry 
market; a case in point being an attempt by a New 



York firm a few years ago to corner the goose ma 
ket, which resulted in literally flooding the city wil 
geese, chief of which were the speculators, for tl 
stronger their attempt to corner the market tl 
greater the supply of geese. No sncli attempt h; 
since been made. 

All poultiy breeders and shippers now know thi 
such a thing as cornering the poultry market is a 
impossibility. 

The two main features of the Poultry Industi 
are fancv or standaid l>red birds and commerci

ponltrv. tliL' bfst, if uot tlu- main sujiply of the lat- 
ter, comes from the eullings of the former. 

Tliere is a mistaken belief that the standardbred 
poultry is of utility only to those directly engaged, 
but all of the best in commercial poultry is directly 
indebted to standard poultry breeding; besides, all 
standard-bred birds go the way of the scrub Anally; 
that is, to the table. 

Of statistics there is ample to prove that the 
poultry industry exceeds the cattle, hog and shecji 
industry of Missouri, is close second to the horse 
and mule industrj', and does not suffer, in compari 
son, but rather takes proud rank with the railroad 
earnings of this great commonwealth. 

The approximate recorded output of Poultry for 
the year 1809 in the United States is |30n,000.0(Mi. 




in the production of which the State of Jlissonri 
stands first. The recorded shipments furnished by 
the records in the office of the Labor Commissioner 
for the year 181)J) are: Pounds of poultry, 10G,o02,- 
679, the value of which is |9,872,921.o7; dozens of 
eggs, 34,267,63.3, the value of which is |4,112,115.96. 



The much discu.ssed money question is silenced in 
the presence of the poultry output, which exceeds 
the yearly output of both gold and silver in the 
United States. 

Of no little importance is the fact that Jefferson 




("ity and <'ole county is becoining one of the 
leading poultry points in this, the greatest of poul- 
try states, and there is no reason why she cannot 
soon attain to the jiroud distinction of being the 
very best point. Her natural advantages, sheltered 
valleys, east and south hillsides, grass aud gravel 
gives her every advantage to become such. 

The poultry breeders elsewhere listed in this book 
are honoralile and progressive citizens of .Jefferson 
City and Cole county, and be it said to their credit 
that their annual poultry exhibits have become im- 
portant events in this city, and are second to none 
of the local shows held in the State. 

In point of fairness aud good will toward com- 
peting fanciers from other localities, they stand as 
models of excellence; this alone will go far toward 
nuiking Jefferson City one of the leading Poultry 
centers in the countrv.

]i()sition, which enables him to nuike friends ra])i(l 
wherever located. He has from his early childho 
laken a deeii interest in the manufacture of sho( 
and it was he who demonstrated, in the very gre; 
success of the H. Bockrath Shoe Co., that a sh 
factory could be successful'y operated in Jeffers 
City outside the walls of the penitentiary. !■ 
dalia is indeed fortunate in securing so thoreu 
a shoe manufacturer, associated with a man of i 
ciuestionable business integrity and aldlity in t 
establishment of the first shoe manufacturing pla 
in fliat city. They may rest assured the businf 
under his skillful direction will be a success i 
beyond their expectation and of immense value 
the material wealth and rrosperitj- of that am 
tious and enterprising city.

OUR HELPERS. 



We have been signally fortunate in the selection 
of assistants in the production of the Illustrated 
Sketch Book and Directory of Jefferson City and 
Cole county. In every department, necessary to the 
perfection of the work, we have met with the most 
■courteous treatment, prompt execution and the best 
service jiossible to be rendered. We cannot re- 
frain, however, from adding our meed of praise and 
sincere appreciation to the Tribune Printing Com- 
pany, who have published and bound this tasteful 
volume for us. In every particular, it is most 
iirtistic; the excellent press-work and correct com- 
position, could not be surpassed by any j)rinting 
establishment in the United States. We particu- 
larly desire to express our thanks to Hugh Stephens, 
manager of the above firm, for his uniform atfability, 
jirompt and energetic management of his extensive 
office, and for the excellent and artistic taste dis- 
]>layed tlnr.ughout the volume. We wish also 
to here extend thanks to J. E. Muri)liy, foreman 
in the Composition Departmeu' the evidence 
of his good taste and' painstaking work is shown on 
iihncisT vxi-vy ]iage of tl'.e book. We also wish to 



express our appi'cciation to Thomas Fisher, 
foreman of the pressroom, for the very ex- 
cellent press-work done, which gives evidence of 
his skill, ability and thoroughness in this imjiort- 
ant department, so necessary in a production 
of this kind. We can speak with equal candor 
in comniendatioii of the very excellent, sub- 
stantial and artistic binding of the volume, which 
work was in the special charge of F. E. Carter, 
foreman of the Tribune Printing Company bindery. 
^^'e wish also to express our appreciation for the 
very efficient work and close attention of our asso- 
ciates who assisted in the office, and especially to 
the very thorough work done by S. A. Salisch, whose 
intelligent and pains-taking interest in the make-up 
and production of this book has been not 
only invaluable but indispensable. Our artists, 
the Kansas City Engraving Company, have the 
strojigest evidence of our appreciation of tlteir 
very excellent work in the ])roduction of the half- 
tone plat'^s which embellish the book, in our giving 
to them our exclusive business when other engrav- 
ers offered to execute our orders for less monev.

which is his private off'ice and 
that of the Water Works Com- 
jiany. Mr. Binder also owns a 
liandsome park in the western 
suburbs of the city. Before re- 
tiring, he built, nnder contract. 
fi number of the most modern and 
imposing public buildings in the 
State outside of St. Louis, among 
them the magnificent new struc- 
•tures which took the ])lace of the 
Jlissouri State University build- 
ings destroyed by fire. He superin- 
tended the erection of the U. S. 
■Government building of this city, 
which is conceded to be tlie most 
perfect piece of architecture in 
the State. (See sketch, iiage n2S.i

L. S. I'AKKER. 

We have spoken (in another luige of this vdlnnie 
of Mr. Lester S. raiker as a business man. at whii h 
time we had no Icnowled'ie of his exceptional ciiltuii- 
or his talent and jienius foi- tlic production and ren- 
dering of vocal and instiunienlal music. Since then, 
however, he has consented to iiuhlish a few of his 
musical ciim]iositions liifoic liis dr]iarture for En- 




rope. He has had plates made for three pieces, and 
is having the music piinted by the Tribune I'rint- 
ing Company of this city, all of which are now 
coming from the press. "Kag Time Kastus, the 
^^■histler," is his most novel production, and has 
met with hearty ajijiroval by the public and press; 
it is decidedly uni(iue in the line of song-writing, 
and has a whistling clioius. It describes the pre- 




dicaiiHMit of •■Kastus." a rag-tinic negro, and' is 
Imniorous in the extreme. 

"The Pickaninny's I^ullaby." is c<insi(lcre(l by 
man.\ his most choice melody, having in its make-up 
a definite purpose and being a true and jioetical 
descii]ition of darkey life. The coarse element found 
in most darkey dialect songs is eliminated, and the 
ludicrous common to darkey chaiacter is jiictured 
in a pleasing and vivid manner. 

tint to many, his most jiojiuiar song and cer- 
tainly the most un(inestionable hit. full of s])ice and 
music, is "People Will Talk," a most hajipy mixture 
of fact and wit. The music and chorus are by Mr. 
Parker, the wijkIs being adopted. The following 
are two of the stanzas: 

If threadbare your dress, or okl-fa?hioned your }^at. 
Someone will surely take notice of that; 
And hint rather strong that you can't pay your way. 
But don't get excited whatever they say. 
For people will talk. 
Chorus— 

For the people, all the people will watch you with eyes like 

a hawk. 
Never sleejiing; 
Ever keeping 
Their tongue busy wagging with talk, talk, talk." 

If you dress in the fashion, don't think to escape. 
For they criticise, then, in a different shape; 
You're ahead of your means, or you're tailor 's unpaid; 
But mind your own business, there *s naught to be made. 
For people will talk. 

Chorus; For the people, etc.
